Little Vera was not an enjoyable movie. Not saying it was a bad movie but it was so depressing that I really couldn't enjoy it. If this was a realistic look into Russian youth during this time, they have a lot of problems to deal with. This is a very destructive way for someone to live.
I can't say that I'm supportive of Vera's way. I honestly think most of the problems she creates herself. Marrying a scumbag like Sergei at such a young age is a very bad idea. Yet she seems to go through with it for some unknown reason. Neither of them seem to have any real love for each other. This means their relationship is doomed to fail. Vera seem very young and very stupid. Granted she hasn't gotten much support from her parents. Vera dad is an alcoholic and calls his daughter a bitch and slut throughout the movie. Her mother seems very overwhelmed by everything and never praises Vera but always praises her older brother. This makes Vera seem very insignificant. It's tough to say whether Vera creates most of her problems or if they come from her surroundings. In many ways it's a combination of both.
The director always seems to portray this movie in a very dark and gloomy matter. Most of the shots are very dark and gloomy and shows a very polluted area. This helps make the movie much more gloomy.
