I hope never

If my life depended on it, I would not be able to finish the Stalker.

Mirror is different, and there a bit of familiarity with the Russian history is a must, some sense of the culture too. You can't just dump it on an average American viewer and expect good response. The film generated extremely heated debates when released in Russia.
