It’s a movie about Russian people who have English accents. Waut, it’s a movie about Russian people who have English accents AND how hot Liv Tyler is. Cool.

Note that this is an unhappy story.

based on Eugene Onegin – (1833 book), by Alexander Pushkin

This movie just does not compare to Conan the Barbarian – (1982 movie). It’s no wonder that a third was never produced.

A coming of age story of a class of students learning poetry in an unorthodox way.

While I recommend and like this, it not great.

Something about it makes it feel somehow inelegant or simple, perhaps even predictable. Perhaps it stood out in its era, and it caught me at an impressionable moment for my first viewing, but as I watch it again it doesn’t grab me much at all. I think this would be weakly-mandatory for creating a well-rounded movie-learning experience in someone young.
