I’m not convinced that Dead Mountain will solve the case, but it’s a fresh and well-paced introduction to a mystery that has enthralled generations of Russians. But fair warning: it might send you down a rabbit hole!
Kelly Luchtman on Foreign Crime Drama Dead Mountain exists on equal terms with its characters—without denying their quasi-legendary status, yet accepting the fact that before all these events and outside of historical context, they were ordinary kids from Sverdlovsk. And that is precisely what could win over their relatives. The series shows that someone still sees them as human beings.
Ефим Гугнин on Film.ru In the monochrome world of the hikers, the long-awaited and tenderly beloved Khrushchev Thaw comes alive through music, camera angles, transitions, and the gentle grain of film. The young actors' faces, their wide-eyed youth, their habit of looking into each other's eyes and laughing aloud capture both the cinematic breath of the turn of the 1960s and the essence of the real people.
