    This fantastical fable takes aim at marketing itself with an intriguing if tendentious narrative.

    The film is an ingenious, deranged, bloated, and just plain batshit crazy riff on advertising and the mad men and women it creates and/or consumes. Heady stuff, but it's no "How to Get Ahead in Advertising." This film is absolutely mental, and not in a good way, either.

    First of all, if you want to watch an action sci-fi, DON'T watch this It's not another green screen, super effects, action heroes, bad monsters movie. It requires some thinking and self-criticism to do.This one provokes these things for the viewer. The whole concept is original and very very up to date with modern consumerism. The subtle dark humor is also a big plus. Although not a grade-A it still is a very nice film.… Expand

    this movie is strange to the point where it almost becomes incoherent, but it is rather enjoyable nonetheless, strong performances, an interesting concept, and appropriate absurdity make this a decent sci-fi film.… Expand

    "Acting in a bad movie - is like spitting in eternity" (Faina Ranevskaya). "Branded" - is a big spit in the side of the cinema. They wanted to spit in the side of Russia, but they spited against the wind. Worst movie for last 30 years.… Expand
