“I didn’t understand” – a phrase from the favorite film “Wedding in Malinovka”, the same can be said about this series. It wasn’t a bad start and even got a little attention, well, and then it started. One has a husband, "unearthly love," but when a colleague touches it, it's like, "It's not my fault, he is himself." And then even look for someone who would be duped in the hotel bar (but here she could understand). Klimova played well, in my opinion, it was nice to watch her. The second is a woman who is all by herself. She changes men, trying to avoid love, because the fate of her wife is the kitchen, pajamas, diapers, openers. But everything good comes to an end and you meet someone who will divide your life before and after. Personally, I like Ravshana, but she is peculiar, not like the others, but in general, her characters always sympathize with me. They have humor and a life position. The third and fourth heroines, as actresses, I do not know much, but if the role of a single mother, I still understand from beginning to end, then the doctor at the end of the series, drops below nowhere.
In general, the series, of course, for once and most likely after watching it, there will be feelings of disappointment, but you can emphasize something for yourself.
The conclusion for me was that no matter how much you want that freedom, you will always want to be caged. For some it will be a reason to move, for others it will be a reason to stop.
I turned on a movie for the first time without reading the abstract, and that was the first mistake. The first was followed by the second – it was not necessary to try to delve into the storyline and find at least something NOT immoral in this “product”.
The aftertaste of this film is even worse than from accidentally eaten spoiled salad - from food is not as sick as from what they are trying to present to the viewer in a brilliant fantasy with the inscription "Philosophical film about life."
The creators, forgive God, at the end of the viewing seem to me not quite spiritually and mentally healthy people, because only in a sick state you can make a video that all women are prostitutes, and men are often concerned.
Yes, yes, now you say, "What about the military widow and her new boyfriend?" You know, these two characters, despite the seeming contrast in the narrative, could be idealized if they were shown in a more pleasurable and engaging way. But that didn't happen. There was no logical conclusion to the film.
Review: a pity of wasted time and mental balance. Cinema (if this is not a documentary genre) should ultimately bring joy to the viewer, help him understand his feelings, be more life-affirming and as less dirty as possible. “Women in Love” will show you only dirt, after watching you will want to get up and wash.
I write like a person who has watched all seasons of British Mistresses and all seasons of the American remake. In two words: heaven and earth.
Once again I come to the conclusion that you need to shoot what you understand. If the Russian Anna Karenina threw herself under the train, then the Americans, or anyone else, should not try to explain this act based on their worldview. It won't work anyway. Just like this.
The British filmed for themselves and for themselves. In my philistine opinion, they got a good serial film about women, even confused, but loving and loved.
Americans were more honest with their heroes. Although they took as a basis the beginning of the plot of British colleagues, but then everything was adjusted for themselves and their way of life. This story about four ordinary American women, albeit already beaten to the bone, but still interesting to its viewer, since they are already shooting more seasons than the authors originally had.
The Russian version is a failure. First of all, not realistic. Where did you see an ordinary widow of a military or police officer have such a luxurious apartment? What about a regular doctor? I understand that I really want to live like there, but, alas, the reality is more deplorable.
Second, director, you're disgusting. How could it have been so awful to film? If you think the series is too depraved, why would you shoot it? Leave this idea and shoot “Natalia, boyar daughter”, there are no bed scenes at all.
Yes, this series is about unbridled women who constantly enter into intimate relations with many partners. I will not consider the moral side of this issue. But if you’re reshooting, do it either in 18+ format or come up with your story with more gentle scenes. You would still “Bitter Moon” filmed in the style of “Red Riding Hood” or “The Little Mermaid”.
Third, the actors themselves. I won’t say that everyone played badly. Ekaterina Klimova always pleases me with a good diverse game. Daria Ekamasova, unfortunately, disappointed. I've seen some good work by this actress, but they were all different roles. She couldn't handle it. Ekaterina Volkova was extremely unconvincing. Those who haven’t seen the original may disagree. But British Kate painfully could not give up her feelings. Here is an amorphous lady, who with a finger of deception and she will fall on any seducer and under any circumstances. Ravshan Kurkov was shown to us in the image of a whore familiar to her recently. Here you can remember about “Unreal love”, and about “What do men!”, “May rain” and much more.
Of the male composition, I can only praise Konstantin Samoukov. 50 for 50 played Khabarov, Kobzar, Petrusenko. The others are a nightmare! Do you kiss your women as well as in the frame? And there were almost no piquant scenes. That's how you managed to screw these up.
Bottom line: the British original is great; the American version is a good try, our creation is dark.
I don’t usually watch such series. I can't say anything about "sex in the big city" or "all men are theirs." Here I accidentally got to the 4th (or 5th) series and continued to watch, waiting for the moment when I will no longer be embarrassed for what is happening on the screen. Awkward for the fact that the stagnant, poorly dressed and clumsily moving Tamara can be friends with Sveta, live in a mansion. It's embarrassing that it's always summer on screen. It’s embarrassing that the characters are always with glasses of wine: at work, in bed, standing, sitting, lying down. Without wine and conversation, there is no... Awkward from the crazy sloppy makeup on the face and neck of actress Volkova - my TV showed all the time irregularities of coloring on the face, hernias of the lower eyelids, a clear border of makeup and body on the neck. It is embarrassing that in life, such as Katya, an old woman with an unhealthy complexion, could hardly dry a young major and two handsome men. It is embarrassing how suddenly broke and corrected Mark. It is embarrassing that in the announcement and reviews Zhenka is called a realtor, and arranges holidays. It is embarrassing that in whatever circumstances at a given time there is any heroine, she every time flaccid flower settles into the arms of a man who turned out to be here with readiness "opening the lips petals." In general, I practiced masochism, watching the series to the end. And strangely, in the end I was no longer awkward, logic suggested that Sveta + Stas, Tamara + Oi, forgot!, and Zhenya + Mark (funny, of course). But for the final Katya + Dan I was still embarrassed.
Despite the soap, I enjoyed watching the series. Beautiful pictures with luxurious houses and the sea caused bewilderment, but pleased the eye. The actors were happy too, by the way. I never even noticed Ekaterina Klimova before, she is so beautiful! And sexy! Her eyes are so big... In general, this film distracted me from the terrible news and continuous mourning in the world.
But the film infuriated by the same favorite scene of the director: the attack with a kiss. Only around the corner who wraps - boom! hot kisses, you can just die. It was like a movie, too mach. I agree with the comment above: clearly the script was written by the aunt of the postmenopausal period, something she has all the heroines weak on the front. Most offending for the heroine of Ekaterina Volkova: like a doctor, and distributed to everyone throughout the film as a nurse, without brakes. The main thing is to act guilty and tell everyone who loves her. And it's also annoying that each heroine has multiple bed contenders. And everyone does! Walk like deer, take touching hands, do not forget, suffer and so on.
I discovered Ravshana - such appearance, cynicism, everything in her is organic.
From the first series, it became clear to me that this is a kind of analogue to the series “Mistresses”, where one of the main characters Alice Milano, in the series she is a lawyer, is also married and tries to have a child with her husband, her sister in the series is a realtor in the first season, and in the second she becomes the organizer of all kinds of events – this role in “Women in Love” was given to Ravshana Kurkova, then a doctor who treats his beloved and he dies from the disease, or rather she helps him, directly writes and remembers the series “Loves” ... in him, the doctor also wants to know about his father’s death. Well, the last heroine in this series with 2 children, whose husband is missing, the military ... she calls and breathes into the phone ... So almost the last friend from “Mistresses”, her husband also allegedly disappeared, died while performing some task and she is raising a daughter. In general, the plot is almost completely licked! Which I don't like categorically. For those of you who haven’t seen the series, look! It's much more interesting.
Either reality or embellishment of reality. Third, directors of soap operas are not given... To look at a beautiful picture on a weekday evening, of course, is more pleasant. There were many, many of these shows about women, especially those luxurious and rich, but very, very unhappy. And how many more will there be??? But why did I look at this completely? After watching, I came to the conclusion that the rich now not only cry a lot, but often and a lot of people sleep with. It is very painful, as the heroines after a couple of days of dating in full play female hormones and they hide behind love, despair, loneliness - treat themselves in a man's arms ... In general, to combat these feelings and condition - bed is not the only medicine.
But if we approach this film less cynically, and let’s say condescendingly, then in general the heroines are not so vicious and bad. Especially on the outside. Of course, it is nice to look at Ravshana, Ekaterina Volkova and Ekaterina Klimov, the more they always and every day look like after a good spa ... and their clothes are good ... and cars, and at home. But if all this is removed, what will be interesting to see?? Who would be interested in listening??? The film will prove empty...
The contents of the series can be briefly conveyed, slightly changing the charming song performed by A. Mironov from the brilliant television film 'Ordinary - a miracle' And grandmother's eyes Buck-Buck-Buck-Buck Yes, from bed to bed, jump-jump-jump-jump, there is no purpose in life, except for smack-smack-smack-smoke All in a hungry search for smog-smog-smog-smog" The film seems to me not only talentless, empty, but also cynical. I have a feeling that our government and MPs have an idea of the life of the people, based only on such films. All the heroines live in mansions by the bluest sea, from the verandas and windows of which stunning landscapes open. Our legislators are watching and thinking: well, the people have no problems, except sexual. Shouldn't they be taxed, or else they're overdone. People from shacks look at the nonsense of filmmakers and pay taxes on new schizoid paintings. It is a pity that actors, seemingly in demand and not in distress, are ready for money to star in anything. It is impossible to play here, so the actresses try to expressively clap their eyes. It is also impossible for a mentally healthy person to watch this (the mind should be protected and developed, not dumbed down). It is clear that the scripts for such films, again I apologize, are written by women of the pre-menopausal period, very sexually dissatisfied, losing every day the chances of personal intimate life and therefore completely breaking off on paper. God be with him, we will endure this, we will forgive the lack of talent, as long as their scripts are not complete, illogical, incoherent, real stupidity. I wonder who gave the money to this cretinism called "Women in Love"? It's a pity there's no punishment for making freak movies. It is also impossible to evaluate 0, empty, minus.
At the very beginning, I hoped to see a pleasant, modern movie. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that expectations were not met. The viewer was given a raw product with an ill-conceived script and weak acting.
Four women, four girlfriends.
Svetlana, a lawyer, is presented to us as a desperate careerist with a raging libido, but the lion’s share of work in the office does for her lover Stas. At home, the Light is waiting for a loving and allegedly loved, wealthy, but hysterical spouse.
Continuous throwing from bed to bed, the same Klimova and repulsive female type.
Katerina is an experienced doctor and just a nice woman. Everything would be fine if the writer had not suddenly decided to make a naive girl out of an adult woman, actively flirting and easily going on a relationship, but embarrassed at the first kiss with the object of flirting. Kissing, embarrassed, calmed down. Cycle. Eternally calm E. Volkova, but here it even fits the place.
Zhenya is a superwoman, a superrealtor, changing lovers in packs. The only character who can afford a little bit of humor and cynicism. I will not say anything about the game of R. Kurkova, I do not understand it.
And finally, the widow Tamara performed by D. Ekamasova. Here the authors decided to give themselves free rein and hide the character from all existing stereotypes. Eight years ago, Tamara buried her husband, who died in a hot spot, and now lives in a luxurious house by the sea, raising two children and suffering from extra pounds. And how else, because Tamara is the only one of her friends who has children, so she experiences temporary material difficulties, has an imperfect figure, and has no fans at all? So let Tamara be not very smart and ill-dressed, walk, walk! On what money does Tamara live with children, where does the heroic husband have money for a mansion by the sea, why do material problems begin only with the appearance of a man? All these questions remained unanswered. Even if Yekamasov turned out to be a virtuoso, it would hardly have been possible to save the role.
The men in the series are slurred, superficial and weak. It was completely ruined by vulgar dialogue about sex.
Even after watching the trailer, it becomes clear that this is a post-Soviet clone of Sex and the City. I will not list the names of the characters in the series, I did not even bother to find out who they are, how many children they have, how well or not very they played in past films (which may be available), I do not care, although some of them are vaguely familiar.
I am only interested in one question in this series - how can these ladies be friends, if they are in diametrically opposite socio-age groups?? They have nothing in common, their conversations are empty, their problems are trivial and easily resolved. Why is a young realtor in the company of Miss Bukina, when by all accounts she should hang out at a club with the offspring of oligarchs and an official? Why does this realtor work as a realtor, although with such appearance she would already have to ride a middle-class SUV, wear a pug under the armpit and talk about the fate of the Russian intelligentsia at a contemporary art exhibition? I was looking at this lady, in the world bearing the name of Ravshan and thought to myself, and not a PR action with her name, a very Slavic face of this madam, maybe she is just a girl from the neighboring entrance, and the whole story with the name is a cunning plan to squeeze an extra tear (read money) from the sad story of a difficult childhood in post-Soviet sunny Tajikistan.
Why do I only write about the realtor? It's just that she's the most colorful shot of this city four: Miss Bukina is just something, it's a song, it's even hard to say something bad about her, it's beyond. The female doctor resembles a descendant of women who lived on an ancient island in the Aegean Sea. Pregnant-once-12-year-old-and-not-from-husband, well, what can this lady teach good, remembering old movies, I want to shout to infinity: “Shame!”
The series is for women tired of work, family, everyday duties, from active male aggressiveness on the news. For women who want to see a cute picture and a little underwear of a famous brand. For everyone else for 15 minutes, sound at will.
I caught myself thinking that almost all the episodes and plot moves were, were, were... But I couldn't get away. At first I thought, what do these different women have in common? Everywhere they say that only childhood: I agree. In some places, they “interact”, but somehow weakly, mainly with Sveta, since she is a lawyer, and almost every one of her friends faces a problem that requires consultation. Less often - with Zhenya: she is so dashing, trouble-free - in every sense of the word, easy to rise. We should have started with the title of the film: it is so correct: even though heroes and heroines confess their love, their ceiling is love! But overall, the film is, of course, about middle-aged women looking for - and finding! - their love. And these are our modern Russian women who are working, raising children, lonely, busy, forgetting about themselves. Tamara, for all her everyday life, is the most mysterious heroine. Involuntarily ask yourself the question: why exactly does she have this magnetism, kindles passionate impulses in men and attracts to herself “seriously and for a long time”? The director and the audience have their own answers. Katya, whose performer Ekaterina Volkova is called the Russian Sharon Stone, by the end of the film is made too vulnerable and helpless, and this is probably another type by design: a strong independent single woman is a weakness not her lot. Zhenya performed by Rovshana Kurkova causes very ambiguous feelings. The light and attractive image is purely spoiled by the unprofessionalism of the actress, whom viewers often saw on the spreads of magazines with reports from the Kinotavr: always there, always at sea, always in a swimsuit on a thin figure. And here is the big role: with a weak articulation, an unpleasant voice and not yet, not, not, not... Light is beautiful in everything: in work, in family, and in sins. Ekaterin Klimova is a real star, a diamond of pure water in this soap! And finally, the actress showed herself! And homemade cupcakes in containers, fitting wedding dresses, young fans of mature ladies and love triangles of medical staff we have seen, and more than once.
