I don't watch Russian cinema, so I didn't know what to expect going in but what I got was a well made film. Sputnik felt like a horror version of Arrival, and while it is no where near as good as Arrival, it is still smartly written and at least tries to have some emotional weight even if the emotional aspects don't quite land. Overall, this was a good watch, and I'm interesting in checking out more Russian films in the future.
