The metaphor of the film is very clear, what unfolds is not pure political corruption, but a kind of powerlessness of the social people under this huge decaying machine, after all, under the limited struggle, they can't find their rights or a destination. In the film, the vast ocean, the skeleton of a huge whale stranded, the judge's numb words like a machine gun, and the priest preaching the teachings over and over again. . . . . . In front of the huge beast Leviathan like the "Bible", tragedy appears inevitable, justice appears false, and where is the destination?

Although there are satires on religious beliefs and puppet legal institutions, it still cannot hide the shortcomings of the tedious narrative and the flat characters lacking true feelings. (7.0/10)

The use of imagery is particularly accurate, but because it is too skilled, I always feel that it is not amazing after watching it, even not as good as
, the latter is rougher and wilder, straight to life.

Lilya: Do you believe in God?

Vasiliy: Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook, or tie down its tongue with a rope? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words? Nothing on Earth is its equal. It is king over all that are proud.
