Two-faced, elevated to absolute What 10 out of 10, have mercy!
It is strange and bitter for me to hear arguments justifying this madam. She didn't know there were kids in the car! She, they say, saw that the man was alive and therefore fled with a calm soul! That's absurd! It could not be seen and understood for sure. She has a child in the back seat who saw what her mother had done, and who didn’t mention it in the whole movie. And Mom? All she cared about two-thirds of the film was her husband’s dislike. What kind of remorse and suffering can we talk about? It seems that Poroshina herself only at the end found out that she was the culprit of the accident.
I was also hooked by my emotionality, but that is why I could not understand, not accept such a development of the plot. These are all artificial, invented "love", from the same series when a Soviet girl falls in love with an occupying officer. This is composed by those, in my opinion, who are prone to mental “Rubik’s cubes”, mechanical folding of interesting combinations, without reference to life. You don't believe that story, it's immoral, fake and unrelated. How will he live with the woman who, he knows, killed his children? Causatively - accidentally - it doesn't matter. Of course, there are men who quickly forget about children, but White played a different character. And I felt again at the end the inconsistency that I often feel in modern films - the actor plays an image that does not coincide with the will of the writer. And immediately becomes obvious author’s arbitrariness, that is, not when the author follows the character of the invented hero, but when he forces him to act in accordance with his desires. Relatively speaking, imagine if Kalugina, played by Alice Freundlich, at the end of the film twisted an affair with Samokhvalov? That's what I saw in this Phoenix.
