Most Russian viewers will probably not understand the film, as it is deeply American and based on their pop culture. His concept is a vaudeville-based dystopia. Sugar-powdered backwater paradise from the 50s was the subject of countless of their TV series, and its image has already fit into the genome of Americans, which does not prevent them from time to time to ridicule it in parodies. Basically, everything that could be done with the subject of vaudeville dystopia was done in this film. At the end there are two twists, the first one is completely predictable, and the second one is really surprising. But the downsides. One of the characters is a pederast, and it is always a minus, without any controversy. The plot in the film is extremely small, I have the impression that I did not look at the monitor for an hour and a half, but for 15 minutes. And the technical point – in the end, the women returned their identities, but it is quite obvious that not their bodies, they now have to live in the form of robots, but the film somehow tactfully silent about it and cheerfully suggested to forget. It's too big a detail to just let it go. Bottom line: the film has a good initial idea, but it is implemented without the plot and important details, the characters are not disclosed, and the actors’ play is impossible to evaluate at all due to the fact that the script does not suggest it.
