It suggests that a war’s horrors were the ultimate unassimilable experience of the shadowy depths of the human mind. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Even if the acting and sound make it dated, they don’t blunt the provocative anti-war message Klimov and his crew were getting across. Read full review

Francois Truffaut once said "There is no such thing as an anti-war film". But then, he never saw this film, did he? If I had to summarize my experience during this in one word, it would be "destruction".

Probably one of the best if not the best films about WW2, and one of the most unnerving and scary films ever made. It depicts war and the life of ordinary people during it the most cruel and realistic way possible, and it certainly does leave a mark on one's perception of the topic.

This is just one of the best WWII movies. A short episode of the life of a teenager who learned the horrors of war and the death of all his loved ones. A must-see, like Schindler's List.

Have people who think that war is a mathematical thing watch this movie and slam the harsh realities in their faces. As I watched, I thought I was there and I was very nervous. It contains awesome acting and scenes. I would say it's the most realistic war movie I've ever seen.

Incredibly filmed, some truly visceral and haunting camerawork. The portrayal of the nazis was one of the more brutal and terrible ones, they were treating the eradication of the village as if it was a party.
