Criticism
Director Yevgeny Gerasimov is not suspected of blind love for the younger generation. In the very title of his picture there is an ironic warning to those who are delighted with the youth looseness of the late eighties, and their own concern about the spiritual lack of spirituality of the younger generation.[2]
Lyubshin played a physical education teacher so that you can fall in love with him. A really good picture, a love story in which problems and realities are depicted, but not an end in itself. A good love story is always interesting.[3]
