Critical response

[edit]

Film critic Alexander Fedorov noted:

Valery Pendrakovsky is not one of the elite of Russian directing, but having the classical dramaturgy of Nikolai Erdman as a literary basis and having collected a bouquet of famous actors, he quite convincingly created on the screen a phantasmagoric world of a universal communal apartment in which every creature lives in a couple.[5]
