The idea of ascent to happiness for connoisseurs of the films “Bitter”: a lot of alcohol, jokes of the level of sillpo, and the same, respectively, in the adequacy of the characters.
The motives of the main character to start in Moscow and radically change their lives, are not explained in a deep way Before us there is only the facade of the problem, and aggressive misunderstanding of others, always trying to annoy the character of Julia Topolnitskaya in the form of “demotivational destructive advice”, which no one asked, but not the reasons for her actions and her inner world. And all this apparent ostentatiousness and superficiality is recreated again according to the method of the Gorky films for a certain category of viewers, and really looks like a look at the problems of a young girl through the eyes of misunderstanding adults and people around her. And all this despite the fact that the story is conducted on behalf of the main character of the film – the girl Rita! So we can safely say that it is the director who does not understand or does not want to understand another generation of adults, although he is very trying to do this.
And on the other side of the screen, one against the whole world that in his hometown, that in an unfamiliar “cold” capital, a girl. And she has to survive: auditions, directors, reckless actions in the pursuit of happiness. There is no sense of shame in these times and the head works in a completely different way. The FH-227 crash in the Andes. In general, the sense of shame is absolutely destructive, as is the sense of guilt imposed by society for equalization and management, and does not bring anything good. So all moralistic outrages can be safely shoved into the furnace.
Alcohol and bed are moments of despair and stages of survival with all their might in cold Moscow. This is exactly what she is for a girl. But of course you can do without it. For other characters, alcohol is a misfortune in the soul behind the mask of well-being.
All stereotypical moments and situations by the end of the film are reduced to zero, and before the viewer the very the essence works with adequacy, for which everything was conceived. It is possible to draw a parallel of this action with that difficult period in Rita’s life: as soon as she found herself and her happiness, all the crazy situations from the scenario of her life disappeared. The countdown of this can be considered a telephone conversation between the girl and her mother, in which the inner world of the heroine is finally revealed.
Music of different periods reflects the difference of generations, but also the similarity of their goals and problems; in other words, the problem of “fathers and children”.
Results:
Those who are successful are successful. Of course, you also need to use your head, but the idea of putting everything aside for a rainy day and living tomorrow will not lead to anything good: so will the whole life with dreams about the future.
Life is so short and meaningless, so if you really need something in this world for happiness, then people, seeing your great desire, begin to help you. This is barter. After all, you will do the same once you have already known the futility of being and the essence of things. The exception to this rule is the clients of psychiatrists and their wishes. The rest is correct.
In short: burn your eyes with dreams in your heart, turn them into goals, and help others like you.
With respect.
I want to be in Moscow, or another fairy tale about how to turn from provincial incompetence into capital incompetence
Sometimes it seems that some genres have already died out. Stories about the conquest of megacities by peripheral girls were relevant in the past decades, but we have seen enough of such husks. Usually everything develops in two directions: either girls face unbearable hardness, pursuing a dream or the right to happiness, or they manage to get into the hands of men or into the arms of Fortune in time, and then the dream, like the right to happiness, becomes the number one trophy.
Someone Antonina Rouge, who previously produced several disgusting Russian comedies, in her debut shows the second version of the development of events. It’s so funny that it makes you vomit.
The main character Rita agrees to the offer of her friend to break from the hinterland to the gold-domed one in order to change something in the disgraced everyday life. Here they conduct weddings (hello to all parts and remakes of “Bitter!”, because we will not find another style of shooting) and deal with local problems in the simplest ways: for example, you can just sleep with a cop to get a job. Well, Rita's mother is allowed to mess around right in the workplace with some co-worker (no idea what the stupid and stupid scene with the shaky picture was about), so what's worse for her daughter? However, with no skills or special talents, she will rush to Moscow alone, while everyone around her grows like trees and does not need change.
The girl’s entire journey is an odyssey from one failure to another, but thanks to Rita’s unbearable optimism, she is perceived as a series of manifestations of impudence and stupidity, for which one must pay accordingly – to be expelled from everywhere. The film writes in scarlet letters in your mind: You do not need to know something, to be able to do something, to try to do something. It is enough to be penetrating, to climb across the throat, not to hear the elementary “no” and every opportunity to use both in the tail and in the mane, simply appearing in front of her naked and demanding to come true. Did they want to push this morality down the throat of the viewer? Horrible. It's terrible.
Rita perfectly executes the author's intention. The benefits of it, as from a floor cloth: you can wipe your legs and wash off in time, but preferably faster, and then the cloth turns into an electric broom and enters into a fight with you. Looks like all the attempts of Rita not to remain a fool completely stupid: not being able, not wanting, not knowing how to get out of this or that adventure in time, the young lady constantly demands even more attention to herself, because why act like an adult if you are still a capricious child in your heart. You came to audition for theater school? Blow the heads of the commissioners with fifty musical numbers to make you sick! Got a new haircut? Convince your hairdresser friend not to take money for a favor, because even a discount is sacrilege and still expensive! You live with your aunt? Drink vodka with her! And so on.
Of course, when you’re inept, poking every hole on this planet and getting a turn from the gate, all you have to do is have a romantic connection with the men around you. Here, look, somewhere on the horizon is a director, we have to take it! And the most insulting thing is that in this role there is another director, Yuri Bykov, from whom the lover is like a paratrooper from Anastasia Volochkova, and a ballerina from a paratrooper. It is not clear in general how Bykov got into the project: friendship or drunk, maybe, or wanted to change his role for a while? Alas, the experiment failed.
And also, in addition to the director, there is a “golden man” from the street, also a nice and pleasant guy, you need to take it twice! He will support, and the wine will swell together, and he will tell a heartwarming story on the swing at night. It's as rural as Rita.
In the finale of the film, we will find out who the heroine will be with and what she will actually achieve, but is all this interesting? In my opinion, a thousand times not. To be exceptionally penetrating – probably this rule still works somewhere with someone, but this is a harmful rule. It's helpless and nasty, like the whole movie. It's wrong. To be penetrating here is to seem nice and cheerful, however, not noticing any mistakes made, not only not to try to correct them, but also to make new ones immediately when they are not asked at all. Blinking is always in front of someone, not representing anything. Looking at this, naive and simple teenagers from the periphery can indeed adopt a similar pattern of behavior. Well, or at least make sure that Moscow, which is not waiting for them, is a place where, even if you are not welcome, you should instead of logically correcting the situation, simply take everything and everyone out of yourself, clutching to the last the elusive shadow of the Dream of becoming recognized, remaining an empty place.
On the technical side, too, one continuous trouble. Playing the role of a self-confident provincial for Yulia Topolnitskaya is like swimming fish in water. The water is muddy, the fish is dead, and the actress is not an actress. There is no proper charm in it, there is only a parody of proper charm, as well as a parody of the typical, a thousand times seen image of a girl with ambition, stopping at nothing. Yes, in general, a colossal work has been done to create the degree of conditionality in which normal, adequate, non-overplaying characters do not belong. As not a place for normal, adequate perception: editing from the category of “tear out your eyes”, musical accompaniment, taking into account “tear out your ears”. By the way, about music: you will not find such a mess anywhere: from frank pop to worn-out Soviet classics, as long as the viewer does not have time to think - only feel what the author wants. A cheeky direct emotion as a means of inciting certain instinctive reactions: to laugh is a fun track to cry - sad to think - serious. And somewhere on top, the icing on the cake (or rather the cream base filling it) is Antoine De Saint Exupery's "Little Prince." You could not even come up with alternatives, just took a great work and weaved it into the narrative as the main motivator of action for the heroine.
Lazy approach to everything is a lazy quality in the end. More precisely, the lack of the same quality.
Film causes nothing but facepalm. I don't know why or who needs it. This is an absolutely useless product, made on the knee and promoting a completely idiotic pattern of behavior: be nobody, but become everything, continuing to be nobody.
No, friends, it doesn't work that way. Stop cultivating in others a naive and meaningless attitude towards life, justifying it by the desire for the Dream.
Enough. Please stop.
Very small in timing and more like a music video, 'Catch the moment' did not cause any special feelings. Here we see a time-worn plot with a girl who abandoned an annoying parental home in the south of the country and decided to go to the capital in search of her dreams. To enter the theater and play with famous directors paired with Danila Kozlovsky and others like them. The main thing when shooting such a film is to have a beautiful picture, a set of motivating dialogues and situations, and a couple of already famous actors shot episodicly to attract attention to the film. And all this from 'Catch the moment' there.
And there are many favorite soundtracks, repeatedly hit different tops in recent years. All this makes the directorial debut of Antonina Rouget quite tolerable, and can even motivate the success of just such as the main character Rita, young and active girls from small towns of our country. It is very convenient to scold the film when you were born in Moscow or St. Petersburg, have a roof over your head and accumulated over time connections. The picture is about a chance that each of us uses in different ways, and some are even afraid to make any decision when it appears.
As a resume, the film is more suited to the younger generation, who find themselves at a life crossroads. When the next moment can determine your destiny for years to come.
Trying not to think about the bad, she turned the channels in search of some good film, no matter geographically, whose production. I got this one and decided to give it a chance.
Another story of another girl coming to the big city for her dream. It's not the most promising, but sometimes it's nice. True, not in this case: the heroine of Julia Topolnitskaya, who is the central figure and should cause sympathy and sympathy, wonderfully inspires only one action - sleep. I lacked the naturalness and sincerity of the character. Funny moments weren't enough, either. Traditional for this kind of paintings romantic line as if there was no. There's no drama here either. And if the classics of the work has a tie-climax-denouement, then in this case we have a solid introduction, the development of the plot has not happened.
Obviously, for a quality result on the way out of the moment ' Oh, let’s make a film about the Dream!' before filmmaking, a huge work has to be done, first of all with the script. It feels like the authors have settled on '. Let's ...' and then there was not too talented improvisation.
By the way, according to the first frames of admission to the theater (and I started watching from that moment), I already, it seemed that this was an unsuccessful remake & #39; Come tomorrow'. Such a cardboard, lap-shaped filmmaker with no personality.
I won't even say he's bad. To do this, you need the picture to cause some emotions, albeit negative ones. This movie is nothing: the characters are dull and one-sided, the charm of the main character is strained. Why in the frame wonderful Kourtnev and Bulls - it is not clear at all, they have nothing to play. Besides, the movie is deadly boring. I managed to cook a 4-course dinner while he was walking, and still at the end I wanted to pray: when? When will this end? Then I was surprised to see the timekeeping - 78 minutes (and the feeling that all 120).
In general, as a background for a vacuum cleaner and a sizzling pan will do. In general, I do not recommend it.
The story of the plot is not new: a provincial girl from a resort town decides to abandon everything and leave to conquer Moscow. Slightly reminiscent of the film ' Carnival' with Irina Muravyeva in the title role. Only here is not the childish naivety and optimism that pervades the film of 1981.
The heroine - Rita (Yulia Topolnitskaya) decides at all costs to enter the acting school in Moscow with the help of if not character, then perseverance and temperament. Around no one really believes in her, but she is ready to go to anything, as long as somehow ' hook ' in Moscow.
In general, the film is not bad, but rather boring. I wouldn't even say Rita's getting the moment. It looks as if she is going with the flow: on the instructions of her friend she leaves her hometown, on the protection of her aunt goes to work in the theater and meets an agent. He can’t stop himself and doesn’t stay long.
Of the pluses: colorful landscapes, yellow filter and a small lyrical retreat at the end.

- My dream was to become an artist and I work as a statue in the park.
I like the way the theater shows. Oh, my God, they don't ask you to portray future actors. It's a cheese spirit, it's something equally exotic. And the first roles in theaters? Play the table! What's your idea?! An hour on all fours! Powerful! It’s not even the role of a tree like some. And how many other strange directorial “finds”? But there are real pearls here. For The Little PrinceAntoine de Saint-Exupery I want to say a separate human thank you.
The film is a life movie in many ways. It shows that the path to success is thorny and difficult. That life is a series of opportunities that you need to be able to recognize and use in time. Because if you pass by, you can lose important events on the path of life. It's about happiness and self-confidence. The dream and the pursuit. Finding your own unique path. Let it not be similar to the fate of others, but prepared for a particular person. About loved ones and their support. And other equally important things. I did not forget to walk here and modern readings of classical works. On how modern directors shine above them. Shouting with a seagull in the work of Chekhov is the most modest of innovations. I also tried to scream with a seagull for laughter. That was funny. But what does Chekhov have to do with this?
Well-chosen cast. Some of the secondary roles are remembered. It was nice to see the trinity from the wonderful comedy series Kitchen: Valeria Fedorovich, Mikhail Tarabukina and Olga Kuzmin. A bright accent was the aunt of the main character. It was played by Julia Sules. Her character was my favorite. She treated her niece as warmly as she could, supported her, worried about her, although she treated her rather harshly in places, telling why she was not needed here in Moscow. The main star here, of course, Julia Topolnitskaya. For Julia, this film is a benefit, and she shone here! He opened new facets of his creative talent. I spotted her with Comedy Battle. Their number with Alexei Shamutilo about spiders was unrealistically funny and I remember for a long time. Then an enchanting role in the video Sergei ShnurovExhibit, which made Topolnitskaya an Internet star. I am very glad that the rise of her creative career did not stop there. This tape revealed it from different sides. I was most impressed by her performance of the song 'Tenderness'. I love the subject. I didn’t know Julia could sing like that. Touching and heartfelt. Tears and goosebumps. I think this role is somewhat autobiographical. Perhaps that is why she seems so convincing and touches the living.
Excellent soundtrack and beautiful Moscow organically complement the film, make it colorful.
Those who expected the comedy could be disappointed, because still funny moments were few. However, in my opinion, this picture should be such – ironic, but tearing stomachs are ridiculous. It was rather sad and vital. But this sadness is bright and with hope for the best, so the minus is conditional. The end of the story was also correct.
Let you not be encouraged by the appearance of Alexei Kortnev on the poster for the film. Yes, he has a bright character, but a secondary one. Scenes with him in the movie are not enough. Just a famous actor, who decided to place on the poster, apparently to attract more viewers.
The film is not a revelation, but it touches. I liked him. Yeah, he's hardly funny. But that's not the point. He grabs the strings of our soul. He left a mark on her. Made me feel sad, think and empathize. Isn't that an achievement?! Watch a good movie, go your own way! Be who you are. Don't listen to others. Skeptics are full, and life is yours – and it is worth living it exactly as you want.

Posters and trailers for movies we make strange people of course. They make it so that some viewers do not want to go to these movies, because there is an association with the typical stupid comedy. For example, it was with “I lose weight”, so it is with this film.
"Catch the Moment" is not a stupid Russian comedy, as many might think. It's a pretty cute and funny light comedy, but more importantly, it has meaning. It begins with the “little prince” – “get up in the morning, put yourself in order – get your planet in order.” Only very dull people see this work only a children's fairy tale. And what are fairy tales?! A fairy tale is essentially a way, through a fantastic plot, to invest moral knowledge in a child. And all the fairy tales of the peoples of the world are famous for this. They are like children's parables.
So this film, you could say, in an easy comedic manner, is a way to convey certain ideas to the viewer. And the idea is simple - you need to dream, fight and not give up, and understand who you are. Not that the film is straight loading and teaching, it is just not without meaning. And these ideas are probably the main ones, and to put it mildly humorous, I would say a little funny and funny. But it's hard to make me laugh.
The film is about a girl who decided from the southern city to go to Moscow to enter the theater. And of course, it is not so simple, but the girl is not quiet, so a series of ridiculous situations twists her wherever she is. A kind of “Come tomorrow” in a new way, or they say similar to “Carnival”, really similar.
The main star here is Julia Topolnitskaya, she is a very charming girl and a cool actress, especially she succeeds in comedy roles. And by the way, a lot of what happened to the main character with Julia was in life (I know from a long interview, it seems “gentle editor”), for example, that she had to be an animator, etc. In addition to Julia, there are successfully located many good actors, including Yuri Bykov, Alexei Kortnev. By the way, they all look good in comedy roles, I knew this before.
In general, if you want to watch a good Russian comedy with a bit of meaning (it works here most), then you can go to this film. “Catch the Moment” is a colorful, light, funny, but also motivating story.

"Theater school" - What is it for the Soviet dream in 2019?
The film is very ambitious, but there is no alcohol. Explain to me why a person who is disappointed should drink vodka or wine. The main character Rita, having received a blow to the nose from life, decides to drink. Again alcohol, again link Moscow-dream and disappointment-dream. Rita (played by Yulia Topolnitskaya) is an ordinary provincial scandalist. She's always in the movie fighting someone. The movie is simple. The movie’s tagline, “Follow Your Dream!” has not been revealed. To go to the theater is to sleep with a director. Alcohol, bed for a role, a simple dream - all this cold Moscow. Moscow in the film is very cold, hard. Admission to the theater school - this can only dream of a provincial.
Who needs theater education in the 21st century, Russia 2019? Find an oligarch and any director will bend under you and make a star. We need money, not education. Does Antonina Rouget believe in theater education? The film about the dream is not revealed: the bed with the director breaks everything. It's going to be 16+ girls watching and they're going to believe that having sex with the director is going to be kind of top. The girl needs money. Why Russian directors show that a dream is born of alcohol. Remember, girls and guys aged 16+, alcohol never leads to anything good. Alcohol does not heal wounds or give hope. And director Antonina Rouge herself is not yet an experienced girl, because she shows such things in her film.
Theater School - what is this Soviet dream? Moscow is a grandiose place where the history of the world is made, and here is a school. Director Rouget, you swim fine. Just think about the role Russia is playing in the world. And then sleep with the director.
The movie is complete nonsense. Tagline: 16+ girls, don’t sleep for a career. Why did this movie come out in the spring?

Direct to the March and May spring holidays, the romantic comedy “Catch the Moment” comes out on the screens, telling a story painfully familiar to half of the population of large megacities.
Dano: cute provincial Rita, who is tired of playing the role of the little prince at children's matins or holding weddings in her small town on the Black Sea coast. Rita wants to go to Moscow. Rita wants fame. Rita + Moscow = disappointment and reassessment of his view of life through rose-colored glasses.
And this happens to everyone who at least once walked down the ladder at the Moscow airport or jumped off the train’s footsteps in the square of three stations. A huge city, on the head of a wreath of hope, and a year later - the same platform from which your suburban train goes to a rented apartment an hour from an unloved job ... A slightly sad typical story is colored in the film with fun moments and small gags, but a slight bitterness still remains.
I really liked the main role of Julia Topolnitskaya. This is the same girl "Exhibit" from the clip Cord. However, Yulia almost did not have to play someone else’s life – she has a fate about the same: for years to vegetate in the row of unknown singers, to one day catch luck by the tail, because the Cords saw something in you.
A moment of glory is sweet, but short. Although Topolnitskaya starred in her first major film role - which means that the factor of luck and hope exist for each such Rita. Where do they go, where do they go? Will you be on your way?
In addition to Topolnitskaya, Alexei Kortnev (strict, but kind at heart, a teacher from the theater), director Yuri Bykov, Yulia Sules (as a Moscow aunt who escaped from the province, but the province did not), and Mikhail Kozyrev himself (the crazy director of the Seagull, making the heroine scream like a bird). It's a great set, isn't it?
Watching all this is quite fun. You will not be bored even during the lyrical scenes of the heroine eating a huge amount of ice cream and her communication with a sad mime. The scene with a broom at the audition and the role of a living table for deputies-bandits will be remembered forever.
Precipitation, after watching, only from life itself, if I may say so: everyone will remember what he dreamed of and what he did not achieve. But this, as they say, is la vi, and the movie has nothing to do with it.

Doors are opportunities! Don't put them in your face!
Everyone dreams of reaching some height. Some choose family, others run straight into business or politics. But you will agree that residents of large cities are much easier to achieve than provincials. The latter have to contrive, look for special ways and literally gnaw their way up. Yes, it is not easy, and often you have to stop halfway. However, some provincials still smile luck, and they prove by their example that the impossible is possible. And just such a life-affirming story we see on the example of the main character of the new comedy “Catch the moment”.
Rita (Yulia Topolnitskaya) grew up in a small resort town, where the maximum of her prospects is holding weddings, mornings and other parties for the rest of her days. And since Rita is a girl with character and is not going to spend her whole life in a city that she is frankly tired of, she finally gathers her will in a fist and goes not somewhere, but to Moscow! True, dreamy provincials are full here, and the doors leading to real success are not so many.
Faced with his forehead against the capital's morals, Rita nevertheless definitely will not want to go back. Now she has a goal to gain a foothold in Moscow, enter the theater and, perhaps, meet her romantic fate. Plans with the head, difficulties are even more, but when you are young, ambitious and not bad yourself, everything can work out in the end. It is only important to be yourself, cunning and a little luck.
I liked this film because it is lively and cheerful, soulful and really not stupid. You will not find here the outright vulgarity, dirt and misunderstanding that are characteristic of most Russian comedies. On the contrary, "Catch the Moment" in every possible way brings the real spring closer. Especially thanks to the charming Yulia Topolnitskaya, who in the past perfectly played in “You all piss me off”, not to mention the clip of “Leningrad” for all time! The actress just immeasurably got used to the image of a provincial woman who can not only break through walls, but also the hearts of the audience. And it seems like nothing special, and clings to the soul.
Bottom line: "Catch the Moment" is a wonderful spring comedy with interesting actors, cool jokes and a kind message. It's the best way to cheer yourself up. Enjoy your visit.
“Catch the Moment” is an incredible kaleidoscope of comic situations in which the main character of the film gets, who decided to radically change her life and build a real creative career not somewhere, but in our capital. And you know what, but comedy talent Topolnitskaya not to occupy. It looks very organic in all gags and jokes turn out kind and touching.
Of course, not a little important merit of the excellent comedy component of the film are secondary characters. Here, Alexei Kortnev, Julia Sules, Misha Tarabukin, and even Yuri Bykov are coolly lit. Each of these characters clearly fits into the plot and is a wonderful addition to the main character. Everyone's in their place.
Antonina Rouget’s film turned out to be very bright, kind and very motivating. The main thing in the film is not the action that unfolds on the screen, but the deep message that carries this film. What's important? The main thing is to follow your dream. Not everyone’s dream is Moscow and popularity. Maybe a small theater in a seedy town is the main dream for someone. Someone can sing well in Ufa, and someone can dance in Magnitogorsk. After all, happiness is when there is someone next to you who can share with you all the sorrows and joys and help you to realize your dreams.
The film is very filigree cures the winter melancholy, from which we are just beginning to get rid of the first rays of the spring sun. This is one of the best movies to see on March 8. After all, there is nothing better than once again reminding yourself of what is most important for us.
I don’t know, maybe I just got in the mood, or maybe it’s really so kind and touching, but I really liked it. And if I catch him on TV, I'd love to watch him. “Catch the Moment” will be such an analogy for me with “Trees” – the spring version. I recommend very much to go to this film in the cinema - the charge of positive is guaranteed.

Rita comes to Moscow to become an actress. She has no connections, a rich guy, but "genius" ideas how to get even more.
Absolutely unstressful and funny movie “Catch the Moment” fascinates the viewer first with the immediacy of Yulia Topolnitskaya, then with music that is so well known to everyone that the audience in the hall just sits and smiles even more with everything that happens on the screen.
Moscow in the film directly glows and becomes literally another hero who, together with Rita and companies, travels, changes and dances to the rhythms of Zheni Lubic, IOWA, Leprecons and many others.
In addition to the already mentioned Julia Topolnitskaya, the film was lit up: Alexei Kortnev, who after the projects of the Quartet I, got trained in comedy. Yuri Bykov played the director, and the guys from “Kitchen”: Valeria Fedorovich, Mikhail Tarabukin and Olga Kuzmina lit up in small but funny cameos, important for the plot and helping the story develop in the right direction.
The painting “Catch the Moment” is such a correct continuation of “The Habit of Parting”, where there was a lot of everything, but scattered, in this case, no stars from the sky are missing. At the same time, the movie turned out, there are jokes, heroes who want to empathize, music that will stay in your player for a long time and Moscow, so alluring and spring.
