The GuardianPeter BradshawJul 30, 2025
Chernov is armed only with a camera, to the astonishment of many soldiers he encounters, and the film was constructed by editing his footage together with that of solders’ helmet cameras and drone material. Chernov shows us how drones are now utterly ubiquitous in war, delivering both the pictures and the assaults. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeJan 27, 2025
Like its predecessor, this is an angry, viscerally illustrative film — but it’s a weary one too, occasionally narrating its first-hand view of military combat with the jaundiced sense of futility that comes with living through long-term conflict. Read full review

IndieWireChristian BlauveltJan 27, 2025
2000 Meters to Andriivka” is a grueling watch that can’t possibly capture the full extent of the traumatic day-to-day of waging this war. But even capturing a slice of it is a triumph of empathetic identification. Read full review

Screen DailyAmber WilkinsonJan 27, 2025
Chernov brings home the sense of violent stalemate so that, even when Andriivka seems within reach, peace still feels a long way off. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergJan 27, 2025
Half visceral, first-hand treatment of this particular war and half existential meditation on the ephemeral nature of modern warfare in general, 2000 Meters to Andriivka is perhaps less instantly harrowing than 20 Days in Mariupol. But its haunting impact may go further toward reshaping viewer perceptions of the ongoing conflict. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithFeb 3, 2025
The interjections of quotidian reflection give a fullness and emotional resonance to a film that can, at times, be borderline oppressive in its depiction of war’s brutality. Read full review

Wall Street JournalZachary BarnesJul 25, 2025
The film is more illuminating in its depiction of a distinctly contemporary war, in which men are augmented at every step by advanced machines. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJacob OllerJul 25, 2025
More damningly prosaic than the overwhelming chaos of a war movie’s climactic assault, 2000 Meters To Andriivka marches through death by a thousand unknowns. There’s still heartstopping terror and momentary poetry in this toil. Read full review

RogerEbert.comPeyton RobinsonJul 25, 2025
The primary struggle of Chernov’s documentary is that it leans into the impersonal in an attempt at devastation. It can’t rely on the men as the crutch of the film’s emotion. Read full review
