One of the strongest aspects of ?The Student? is that, while its view of Venya?s beliefs is decidedly skeptical, it doesn?t ridicule him or suggest that others are immune to his Biblical zealotry.

Offers both a universally relevant examination of religious zealotry and, at the same time, a damning, satirical look at modern Russia, a country whose major institutions have become increasingly dominated and cowed by medieval-minded reactionaries and bigots.

'The Student' is a film that never stops to think; it thinks (and speaks, and shouts) while prodigiously on the move.

Serebrennikov deploys ornery irony in this scathing critique of a self-radicalized fundamentalist and local unbelievers
