A Loving Look at the Immigrant Experience
"Moscow on the Hudson" is a funny, sad, and loving look at the experience of a Russian immigrant to New York in the '80s. Robin Williams' performance as the Russian immigrant is outstanding and the writing is excellent. Further, the New York City settings in the '80s are even more fun to see today than they were at the time the movie was released. The only weak link was Maria Conchita Alonso as Williams' girl friend. She was beautiful and charismatic but could not act a lick. Nevertheless, this one weakness does not do much harm to a movie that is filled with fine performances by everyone else, excellent writing, and fine photography. Highly recommended. 8 out of 10.score 10/10
