“The script author of RUBLJOVKA’s achievement is truly marvellous. She must have gone from door to door to get to know the full range of inhabitants who now express themselves openly before the camera. Refreshingly straightforward, she has made RUBLJOVKA a fascinating portrait of the present Russian society, which provides insights far beyond the level of TV features.” Barbara Schweizerhof, epd Film 12/2007

"Against all odds a courageous Cologne director has managed to create a gripping cinema documentary about the boulevard and its inhabitants. „RUBLJOVKA – Road to Bliss“ is a subtle, revealing portrait of an upper class with the means to buy everything – mink furs, villas, traffic regulations." Tobias Becker, Uwe Klussmann, Martin Wolf, Der Spiegel 47/2007

"Unflattering, unaffected, done with high artistry. ....During 94 minutes Irene Langemann draws with images and sounds a portray of the present Russian society. In spite of massive destruction and threats through police and security structures, she succeeded to get an electrifying view into a secretly protected zone and the microcosmos of the new governing elite in Russia."  International Filmfest Munich 06/2007
