I love this movie so much

Fresh and Exciting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I will not retell the story or describe the acting, except to say that everything was top notch. Ukrainian Folk Music in Indiana accompaniments with motifs served as a perfect accompaniment to the film. As you probably guessed, the film is biographical. It can not be called historic in full, since the film does not cover military operations and are limited to a couple, beautifully shot, flights protagonist. A lot of action in the film, and perhaps a few dialogue. This is the only negative. There is a national humor, which positions itself as a naive and sincere Ukrainian human soul. Development and the theme of the struggle between good and evil, which further exacerbates the events and intrigues the viewer. "Firecrosser" really touched. This is the film that when after the credits can say a quiet "wow" ...

Firecrosser - the most awaited film by Ukrainian filmmakers for a long time. I would to say it were really highest-quality film, but it is not. Me and most of spectators of my Motherland are spoiled by Hollywood blockbusters with perfect screenplay and expensive special effects. So everyone waited for something outstanding, especially after widespread advertising campaign of "Firecrosser"... The film is not outstanding. It's even not impressive. But be sure: it is also not bad. Film is as good, as it possible for Ukrainian product. If I rate it objectively, I would put it 7 points. But I remember that it is the first real Ukrainian film. The first try. The picture which gives all of us a hope that our cinematography is not dead and it will arise. So I just can't mark Firecrosser, which became the most important happening in Ukrainian culture of all time of Independence, by point less then 10. It is excellent. And it is just a beginning.

Just came from the theater! I bought a ticket to this movie only because not was where to sit up to 3 hours before the next film that I planned see. I thought somehow spend the time because frankly, expecting something dull and pathos, as usually happens in Ukrainian and Russian movies... When I got out of the theater, I was proud of Ukrainian cinematography! Frankly, a lot could be done better, but then it would be stereotyped movie. It is amazing and exciting story of love, betrayal, friendship and faith in the future! I was touched by the purity and beauty of the Ukrainian language, live playing of actors and amazing story. With confidence I can say that this is the best Ukrainian movie that I ever saw.

Ukraine is not famous with its movies but this one has potential to touch many hearts. It's based on a true story but it's not a story of one man. Similar stories happened to many Soviet officers and soldiers after the WWII so it gives you a sense of that epoch. It's adventurous and at the same time romantic, historical and modern and has a touch of Ukrainian authentic culture. Behind intricate plot are existential topics: love and loyalty, friendship and betrayal, religion, nation and language.It's a beautiful combination of mystic scenes, subtle humour, powerful characters and cultural ideas.
