Very charming little film with several unexpected twists and turns. We are led in one direction only to have it change abruptly and then switch again later on. It ended up being an unusual chase/thriller and unusually sweet love story.
NK was outstanding as the title gift. She reportedly learned Russian for the role, totally de-glamorized herself using poor makeup, awkward body language, etc. One of her best performances in a variegated career.
A sleeper gem.
