Critical response[edit]
According to film critic Lidiya Maslova, "the main miscalculation is the choice of Yevgeny Mironov for the main role. Mironov does not condescend to transform himself. He remains not so much a man, but a movie star who crawls on the floor on his stomach and sometimes arrogantly wiggles his fingers and toes".[7]
