Gagarine
NZIFF2021
Social and magic realism combine in this drama about a young dreamer called Yuri who fights to save his home town - which he shares with his namesake, Yuri Gagarin - from demolition.
“Filled with imaginative, vibrant visuals and an (inter) stellar lead performance, despite some flourishes that miss their landing, Gagarine’s voyage is one well worth joining.” **** ~Empire
“If the ending is signposted, Youri’s earthbound journey to the stars offers a stirring escape from an unjust reality. Like his Russian sorta-namesake, he’s a hero we can all get behind.” ~Time Out
