Elena

This is a bleak Russian film in which the title character Elena is caught between the rich and poor sides of Moscow. The problem is that it batters you slowly but surely into appreciating Elena's situation. Yes, I get it, but I was bored. I had sympathy with Elena who isn't appreciated by anyone. I loathed her rich husband. I envied his daughter who always got everything she wanted. I looked down on her poor lazy son and his family. I was shocked by what she did. The film ended.
