I really liked the movie when I was a kid, and it really made me want to get out and investigate the Romanovs more. It was the factual inaccuracies that made me more interested in finding out the truth of the matter for myself. And I liked how it showed the Romanovs in a symbolic way, and it does help one understand the story in that light.
I watched it, and watched it, and it does give a good impression of the emotions involved although events, and chracters are not always accurate. But hey, what movie is that accurate.
The music is stunning, and there is something there that connects you to the Romanovs, and being aimed at kids, it might help them become more aware of the real Romanovs through the fictional film.
