White Nights! The nights are white. The country is red. The politics are red, white and blue. The lives are separate and ongoing. The saying is you and me. The pirouettes are plentiful (11 in total). The Baryshnikov is Mikhail, the Hines is Gregory. The meet is cute. The couple is odd. The dances are amazing. The music is kind of lousy, tbh.

The Russian is restless. The American is regretful. The Soviets are sneaky. The Americans are cynical. The Mirren is magnificent. The Rossellini is righteous. The escape is tension-free. The resolution is strange. The picture could be better.
