Feedback

Feedback (Obratnaya svyaz, 2020) is a Russian comedy from director Aleksey Nuzhny, available to watch online on iFILM. On December 31, seven old friends drive out to a country house to ring in the New Year together, the way they always have. The table is set, the champagne is chilling — and then the evening goes sideways.

Buried grudges, things left unsaid and a few hidden secrets surface one after another, turning the holiday reunion into a blunt, sometimes painful clearing of the air. The cast pulls together the familiar Kvartet I troupe — Leonid Barats, Rostislav Khait, Kamil Larin and Aleksandr Demidov — alongside Irina Gorbachyova and Mariya Mironova. Same wry rhythm and talky humor as What Men Talk About, only this time under the New Year's chimes. A compact 97-minute piece for fans of dialogue-driven comedy with a bitter edge.
