The film was positively received by critics . Leslie Felperin from '' Variety '' wrote in her review : " Back in the Soviet era , WWII films were as central to Russian cinema as cabbage was to the national diet , but they have long since fallen out of fashion . Dmitri Meskhiyev 's " Us , " a strong-backed meller with A-list Russian cast , retrofits the genre with a macho swagger for a new generation , but keeps plenty of moral ambiguity in reserve . " The film won the Golden George Award for Best Film at the 26th Moscow International Film Festival in June 2004 . Meshiev also won the award for Best Director and Bohdan Stupka won the award for Best Actor
