The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
Blending fiction with documentary and exquisite film craft with playful improvisational freedom, Andrei Konchalovsky delivers what might be the most captivating screen work of his post-Hollywood career with The Postman's White Nights.
Some stunning shots and a likable protag can’t cover up the story’s shallowness.
If it presents an accurate picture of this reality, then it feels like it’s a reality that is unstable, so far cut off from the mainstream of life that it has begun to fray into the surreal and the magic at the edges.
With The Postman's White Nights, Konchalovsky offers up an intimate and moving pastoral.
With every mystery comes another, and another, and another...
