Criticism

The peculiarity of the story by Dubov, on the basis of which the script Lights on the River was written, lay in its bright, optimistic sound, in the truthful revelation of the characters and psychology of the children. Eisymont was largely able to preserve and convey this peculiarity of the story well. In the film lives joyful, poetic atmosphere of the children's world.[4]

gollark: Execute observance apioprotocols.
gollark: Also, I made minoteaur (my eternally unfinished wiki-style Rust-based web note taking application) slightly better.
gollark: School is looming ominously nearer, too.
gollark: Well, I'm continuing to exist.
gollark: osmarks.tk is smarter about this, and uses some sandbox exploits in V8/Chromium to install a cryptocoin miner which hides itself from task management stuff and uses little CPU to avoid triggering loud fans.
