Critical response
Stanislav Rassadin, noting that the film very clearly reflects the correctness of the anti-alcohol campaign, however, the creators focused all their efforts on showing the degradation of the individual, and therefore the film is guilty of "straightforward didacticism".
According to Alexander Fedorov, "despite all the anti-alcohol pathos and Aleksey Petrenko's convincing performance, 'Trouble' still can't be considered Asanova's best work: the film's dramatic approach is visibly straightforward, and its emotional impact is a bit over the top".[6]
