Degtyar) as a director and screenwriter, turned out excellent, dynamic and vibrant, relevant and extremely honest.

The actors called the film “The Box” a real test, every day for three weeks each performer trained for six hours at the Mosfilm site: they learned how to make feints and other wisdom.
Men's movies
Largely due to the fact that the drama "Box"actors and roles were chosen for each other by producer Elena Glikman; there are no complaints about the finished result either from the audience or from film critics. In general, the project is a testosterone male movie, so there is virtually no romantic line in it. The female character - the same age as the main characters Nastya - performed by actress Stasya Miloslavskaya appears in order to advantageously dilute the men's story with her female charm. Her judgments and her words for the film “The Box” (male actors were of the same opinion) are more important than her fashionable outfit. And the way the director uses this character in the story once again confirms his talent.
