Reviews
"Locust" holds a mixed reception among critics and audiences. On IMDb, the film has a rating of 5.8/10 based on user reviews, indicating a lukewarm response. Some viewers appreciate the film for its stylish cinematography and energetic soundtrack, which effectively captures the vibrant Moscow nightlife and youth culture. However, others criticize the story for lacking depth and for character development that feels superficial. The plot has been described by some reviewers as predictable and cliché-ridden, with an overemphasis on style over substance. Film critics from Russian cinema blogs have noted that while the movie has moments of emotional resonance, it ultimately struggles to engage viewers fully due to pacing issues and uneven performances. Despite these critiques, "Locust" is often praised for its authentic depiction of contemporary urban struggles and the raw portrayal of youthful passion. The direction and visual choices receive commendation for creating an immersive atmosphere, though the narrative execution leaves divided opinions.
