    This fantastical fable takes aim at marketing itself with an intriguing if tendentious narrative.

    The film is an ingenious, deranged, bloated, and just plain batshit crazy riff on advertising and the mad men and women it creates and/or consumes. Heady stuff, but it's no "How to Get Ahead in Advertising." This film is absolutely mental, and not in a good way, either.

    "Acting in a bad movie - is like spitting in eternity" (Faina Ranevskaya). "Branded" - is a big spit in the side of the cinema. They wanted to spit in the side of Russia, but they spited against the wind. Worst movie for last 30 years.… Expand
