‘Lyle’, Cool Concept, Poor Execution.
The idea of Rosemary's baby but with lesbian partners drew me in, and I was anticipating what the film had in store with its reimagining. Unfortunately, it all felt a little too vague to leave an impact.
Agniya
The wayward stove—maker Agnia does not spoil life - she lives in the Far North in an emergency poorly heated house, fishes in an ice hole and raises her son alone. Seasonal work makes it impossible to save up for new housing, and the local head of administration, Boris, is in no hurry to resettle people. Agreeing to Boris's proposal to lay out a stove in his hut, Agnia gradually falls in love with him, but eventually uses him to achieve her main goal — to move to a new apartment. And he does it in a very unusual way.
