James Pierce

This movie captivated me from start to finish. Those reviewers who thought it boring and with no plot either have short attention spans or no depth of imagination.

I’ve generally enjoyed watching the series so far, but the supposed need for virtue signaling and inclusivity detracts from its historical accuracy. The actor who plays Mischa is good, but there were no blacks in Moscow at that time.

Strong performance by Brad Pitt and excellent support by Donald Sutherland and Tommy Lee Jones give this credence and chops. The technical effects are well done and don't overcome the real voyage of inner discovery Pitt makes.
