"The style and heroine remind
me of early Godard crime pictures; yet the vision and
story are wholly original...I can't recall seeing a
film with so many plot twists; fascinating from the
word go and a unique look at souls at turmoil...every
guy in America is going to fall in love with Oksana."
Arnie Bernstein, Film historian and
author of "Hollywood on Lake Michigan, 100 years
of Chicago and the Movies."
“Powerful and intelligent’ ‘Lana’s
Rain’ surprised me in that it portrays a woman’s
will to survive in foreign surroundings. Anyone who
enjoys crime and action movies would also enjoy this
film. It often reminded me of ‘Point Of No Return,’
the American re-make of ‘La Femme Nikita’.”

‘Lana’s Rain’ is an excellent
drama. It makes you really think about life because
we don’t know what we would do if we were in Lana’s
situation. You could have food to eat and a roof over
your head today, but what about tomorrow?"

the entire film, I felt as if I was sharing Lana’s
anguish, I felt as I was feeling her pain. I would highly
recommend it to my friends.”

rebel feel to it. The movie felt like a major production,

I hope to relive again in the future.”

of the underbelly of Chicago and also a very Intriguing
cross between a drama and thriller which really pulled
me into the story.”

‘Lana’s Rain’ really appealed
to me as a woman. I could relate to her and her internal
struggle. I think the film totally captured a woman’s
ability to be strong and vulnerable, innocent and tainted,
and full of hatred and compassion at the same time.”
