Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Mikkel-egebjerg This movie is breathtaking, it makes you see the war from a different perspective that you wouldn't think about. I knew Germany invaded Russia and what they did, but I was still shocked watching it. It's a shame that most people don't know about this film, because it's just as good as Schneider's list and pianist even better if you ask me.

Vassago® Only thing this movie is good at is violence. It is boring, not so well made movie about war. Yes, there is the terror, yes there is some drama, but done in such a boring way you feel like you could just walk away from it all and everything would be just fine. I don't understand the hype, but as a trend follows, foreign movies tend to get good reviews mostly because of patronizing commentators, who want to seem smart and profound. Boring, low-quality overrated garbage. And there is this constant babble about how Hollywood can't make this. Hollywood is not always at it's best, but we all know it can surpass this crap by a mile anytime. Shindler's list, for example, is way better than this. This is waste of time, with good promo story. One of them is, that kid acting went back to school with gray hair. Oh give me a break will ya'. Don't believe hype about everything. There is a reason this crap of a movie is not so well known. The most horrible things are faces, that are made to look almost like in a horror flick. Yes, war can be horror, but movies that rely on brutality are usually crap and achieve their impact through gore and violence. There is much more impact behind deep storytelling than this.Intermezzo: When you watch reviews you see many saying "he actually walked through mud to film this", while no one says SHE DID TOO. Crap on crap is crap. This movie is brutal, boring crap. And playing Mozart in the background is beyond stupid since it is only for molesting viewer. No Mozart is playing in the real world and no sinister sound is in the background. To get real feel set this to mute in every mayor scene. Not that big of an impact. Only well brutal with horror soundtrack in the background. With that music, baking chocolate chip cookies can look as a deepest horror flick ever.

dvl12 This movie captivates to tell us the story of Belarus during WWII. Simply mesmerizing, brutally real, highly visual truth. It doesn't leave a good impression, but it shows how broad human nature is. Both, the evil and the good. Highly recommend watching it to anyone interested in history and the art of filmmaking.

Paulina Palero We live in a time where war movies are always about a hero. They show how a soldier risked their life to save a friend how heroic they truly are. This movie whether we like it or not, glorify war. They make it seem like a good option for someone to thanks part of, they basically say "Hey there might me death but hey you will be a hero at the end!" and we know that is now hoe it goes. Some of these movies could even be called war propaganda in a way. They paint war as a glorifying moment in a soldier's life but it is extremely weird for a movie to show the other side of the war. Not the soldiers who trained and became heroes but the people who suffered because of war and this is exactly what Come and See does.Come and See is a movie that I could not get out of my mind for a moth. This is a masterpiece with a deep antiwar message. In the movie, we follow Florya a young Russian guy who decided to join the military during the Second World War. He does not become a hero at the end but a victim, what most people who go to war are. We follow Florya through a period of time where he lives the most terrible things a human being could possible experience. He is forced into situations no one should be put through. His life becomes a tragedy in its purest way. Not in a single moment of the film do you see a hero or you feel like Florya might have a good life after. This movie focuses on the real side of war, the bad side, the terrible side which most people in war experience. This is what I would call a war film, and the best one I have seen. It opposes war in all of its aspects not separating the good or the bad side but simply showing the bad that war does to people.
