... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View MoreFantastic doc, huge research done by a very talented teamA must see for anybody interested in Faberge and the creative process. Also a very interesting historical doc on Russian history combining information on the Russian revolution on one hand and the history of Faberge on the other hand. At times it made for uncomfortable viewing as you saw the lives of the Romanov family in stark contrast to the lives of average Russsian The Faberge craftsmanship was and is exceptional which was very well highlighted by thoughtful interviews and lovely close ups of the Faberge object d'art. It was also fascinating to see how the 'new' Faberge was trying to keep the flame alive with I think great success I highly recommend this doc.
