- timpino5 april 2026very good camera work, very shoddy acting and script
- Jordan23 maart 2026You will not enjoy watching this movie. It’s both beautiful and horrible.
- Gav16 maart 2026Great movie shows the true nazi war
- LivewireAdmin6 september 2025I didn’t like this film. Watching it felt punishing—abrasive sound, relentless close-ups, and a steady march from naïveté to nightmare. But if the film’s meaning is to be unequivocally anti-war, then I feel the need to rate the film not on how much I did or didn't like it but how well it delivered that message....and it delivered it with chilling clarity. Elem Klimov’s direction traps you inside a young boy’s shrinking world as innocence corrodes into trauma. Aleksei Kravchenko’s performance is the film’s linchpin: you can practically see his face age on screen, a visual record of horror. Aleksei Rodionov’s cinematography crowds the frame with faces and smoke, turning the Belarusian countryside into something both tangible and unreal. The sound design—ringing, drone, sudden silences—feels weaponized, less about “immersion” than abrasion, forcing you to live inside disorientation. What I admire, even as I resist the experience, is the film’s refusal to aestheticize violence. There are unforgettable images and sequences, but none play like spectacle; they curdle. When the film leans into surreal touches and historical montage near the end, it’s not cleverness—it’s condemnation. You don’t walk away with catharsis; you walk away with a warning. So no, I didn’t enjoy it. I wouldn’t rush to rewatch it. But as an anti-war statement, it’s devastatingly effective—a howl that leaves no moral wiggle room about what war does to bodies, villages, and childhood. On that level, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Note: I couldn't give a full 5 stars because from what I've read, animals were actually hurt/killed in this film and there is absolutely no need for that. Letterboxd: FilmPhanPA
- Elliot0478 februari 2026WTF! Somebody should have written in the review that it would be like Apocalypse Now. It's not a war film, it's a horror.
- MrTrivet2 februari 2026This is one of the most harrowing portrayals of war in the history of cinema. The starting point is an innocent, childlike image of war as something almost appealing - a space of heroism, community, and nationalist meaning. This illusion is very quickly and irreversibly shattered, replaced by the experience of violence, chaos, and the gradual collapse of everything that once provided a sense of safety. The film works primarily through a growing sense of weight and inevitability. Each event does not so much advance the plot as it systematically strips the protagonist of innocence - in a short time, he is completely torn away from childhood. This is deeply disturbing and overwhelming cinema, yet fully aware of its anti-war intent. The shocking events consistently reveal how war destroys a human being - psychologically, emotionally, and morally. The result is difficult to endure, but also impossible to erase from memory.
- StationManagerDaveNelson29 november 2025Bleak, brutal, surreal, and a must watch. One part war film, one part horror film, one part David Lynch film. Threads is probably the closest thing to it in terms of "realness."
- Rolandas.Kol21 november 2025'WarHorrror"... The movie you will remember, but will avoid watching again... It's the True Horror film with all bits of it's insanity P.S. The eyes... How have they managed to film eyes like that?!?! Full of fear/horror/madness...
- Connor8 november 2025It was said that Steven Spielberg studied this film before making Schindler's List, certainly one of those must watch films you can only watch once.
- Allison Eberle (Allie E)7 november 2025If there ever was an anti-war text, this is it.
- Patrick Wai5 november 2025Realistic depiction of war. Not much of a storyline.
- ReSardine6 juli 2025A real horror movie
- Tyler S25 januari 2025👍👍 9/10
