Does Kinopoisk still belong to Yandex, or has someone hijacked and ruined it? It’s been a while since I last visited. In the mobile app, the top-rated movies list starts with “Lords of the Locker Room”, and in fourth place is “He is not Dimon”. The Kinopoisk website is the only one that, upon loading, completely reloads a second after rendering the first page, to load again with me already authorized through Yandex SSO. The mobile app lacks a top 250 and other undoubtedly popular ratings, which, for some reason, have escaped the attention of the product owner of the app. If you ever clicked “I want to watch this movie” or “I watched this movie,” you can’t see what I’ve selected. Apparently, the list of movies selected this way is only available to admins and bots, to build recommendations. Among the top 250 best films of the world, there are a handful of Russian cinema films which look genuinely odd in that company. Really, “Doctor Liza” stands between “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “The Devil’s Advocate”.
