Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed partly in Texas standing in for Russia, because 2018 indie budgets don't do Moscow location shoots. The snow is fake, the accents are choices.
Released during heightened US-Russia tensions and Chechnya's anti-gay purges, making its 'Russia hates gays' jokes land somewhere between cathartic and queasily prescient.
