Rating: 2/5 -- If the desire is to unsettle and disorientate, the movie succeeds, but it does so at the expense of pretty much all else. Full Review

Rating: A- -- It's a journey that takes us through unexpected, often harrowing twist and turns, unafraid to leave us perplexed, confused, or even frustrated. Full Review

Necessarily bleak, My Joy shows [Russia] caught in the kind of circuitous violence that ultimately corrupts man. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The world of "My Joy" is grim, though the experience of watching it and piecing together its fragmented story strands is anything but.

There are hints of Tarkovsky in the poetic exploration of place and memory and the film is a demanding, difficult work. But the sense of a Dantean journey and a vision of utter hell are powerfully conveyed. Full Review

Product Description:

A routine run for a truck driver turns into a nightmare he can't escape in this psychological drama from filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa. Georgy (Viktor Nemets) is driving a load of freight into Russia when, after an unpleasant encounter with the police at a border crossing, he finds himself giving a lift to a strange old man (Vladimir Golovin) with disturbing stories about his younger days in the army. After next picking up a young woman (Olga Shuvalova) who works as a prostitute and is wary of the territory, Georgy finds himself lost, and despite asking some homeless men for help, he's less sure than he was before of how to make his way back where he belongs. As brutal images of violence and alienation cross the screen, Georgy's odyssey becomes darker and more desperate until it reaches an unexpected conclusion. SCHASTYE MOE (aka MY JOY) was an official selection at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
