Critical response Dmitry Bykov noted: "Certainly, 'Marigolds in Flower' parodies the Chekhovian tradition—but with the significant difference that Snezhkin abandoned the most constructed character from 'The Cherry Orchard', namely Lopakhin, with his business acumen, the actor's slender fingers, his kind heart and his complete inability to understand others. Here, instead of Lopakhin, there are two new Russians". Vechernyaya Moskva newspaper critic Elena Golovanova wrote: "The setting of 'Marigolds in Flower' is awe-inspiring. A whole team of fashion designers and artists worked on the film's design. Hats made of blue wire with bells, dresses made of cobwebs and painted chiffon—the entire film is filled with a multitude of "gadgets" that create a refined, bohemian chic and—well, style. Admittedly, in some places it even goes overboard, but it's not a sin to get carried away".
