Oy, such troubles.

The first two-thirds are kinda standard Mike Leigh depresso-reality film. The last third kicks it up a healthy misanthropic notch. All praise is due to Oksana Akinshina and her remarkable and unique performance. Damsel in distress is the oldest story (and the oldest profession!) but she puts a nice spin on it.

Not recommended for the weak of heart.
