Yevgeny Mironov's portrayal of David is
... terrific. The desperation, the love and the plea for forgiveness that imbue his character's final words are something to be heard. The dyad of [Mashkov and Mironov] is heartbreakingly human.

To say that Mashkov and Mironov are good is to say nothing. Their performances are a discovery of the sort that makes you hit yourself on the forehead and impulsively shout out a forgotten word – "Eureka!"
