A REVIEW OF "On The Third Step"
"On The Third Step is a Russian thriller that keeps you guessing the entire film. The film has a great pace, starting off slow to then ramp up to eleven, ultimately delivering a satisfying ending that is both sad and gratifying.... I highly recommend this film, and would like to see more from this director and their team!"

"On the Third Step plays its cards well. What truly makes it memorable is the most crucial piece of revelation, not only for its writing but for Aleksandr Demidov’s performance in it: unlikely softness and vulnerability in a film brimming with hypermasculine violence."
