Alan Zilberman Washington Post 06/29/2017
2/4
O'Reilly's ambitions notwithstanding, "Moscow" is uneven because of the inescapable nature of such interlocking narratives: some land better than others. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 06/15/2017
Modeled after "everything's connected" movies like "Short Cuts" and "Magnolia," this slickly produced if somewhat dry multi-character study makes good use of location. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 06/13/2017
The jumble of storylines inevitably results in narrative confusion, and the relationships linking them, some of which are only revealed late in the proceedings, don't resonate strongly. Go to Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review 05/28/2019
Writer/director Johnny O'Reilly manages to string together his characters and their stories in such a way that their connections reveal themselves in due time... fitting together as if they were die-cast to precise measurements. Go to Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly 07/14/2017
The picture resembles the recent 100 Streets, though it could have used some of that film's unabashed soapiness. Go to Full Review Anita Katz San Francisco Examiner 07/14/2017
2.5/4
Beyond the novelty, and beneath the surface dazzle, the human stories, while solidly acted, deliver little emotional impact. Moscow may never sleep, but the waking lives depicted in movies like this need to truly affect us. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/04/2021 Brilliant. If you've ever lived in Moscow, you'll find this film makes you want to go back. Poignant, funny and well written. See more 09/02/2019 On Moscow City Day, the lives of multiple characters are followed and eventually interconnect. However, the themes were so melancholic and many of the characters so unlikable that I didn't care what happened to any of them by the time the movie ended. See more Read all reviews
