Movie's Impressions Yesterday I went to a cinema and watched "Only Lovers Will Survive" (a director is Jim Jarmusch). We managed to find the place where it's showing with English sound and Russian subtitles (full dubbing is more usual for Russia). And I was impressed very much. It's not an action movie like typical Hollywood blockbuster. I could say that it's a slice of life with a portion of drama and a cup of humour. The story development are so slow and hasteless. But I could see that the whole picture is well organised and beautiful. Oh, of course the main heroes are vampires. But I think that their problems are more like universal for human beings in spite of age and physiological differences between them and us. Soundtrack is fascinating from my point of view. Surely I need to find it in digital form. ))) Also actors are very good. I'm happy that the director had chosen them because they are so good fit for these roles. If you like stories with feelings and thoughts (and also with good picture and music) you must try to watch this movie.

Your English is wonderful, I've made just a few minor corrections below. The most important one is actually the title, which should be "(My) Impressions of a Movie." We don't say "Movie's Impressions" because it's not really possessive -- the Movie doesn't "own" the impressions, you do.

You put "The story development are so slow and hasteless." It should be with "to be" in the singular, and I would try to find a word other than "hasteless" -- perhaps "languid."

You put "so good fit for these roles"
It should be "so well fit" or "such a good fit"

I've corrected the articles:
the director
a typical Hollywood blockbuster

Keep up the great work, Polina!

Movie's Impressions

Yesterday I went to a cinema and watched "Only Lovers Will Survive" (a director is Jim Jarmusch). We managed to find the place where it's showing with English sound and Russian subtitles (full dubbing is more usual for Russia). And I was impressed very much.
