Reviews:
This is one of the most breathtaking films of all time. Beautifully written, directed and acted. The cinematography is of legend. I cannot think of a more heartbreaking and real view of youth and war. No matter which country you call home, there is no denying the story that this brilliant Russian director conveys on this film.
Without getting into the plot or the story, just know that this tale is one for the ages. You will not be disappointed by this film. No matter how many times I watch it, I am always captivated how they made a war movie from the perspective of the characters in the film, and how they managed to convey the complexities of love, life, family, loyalty as well as the harshness of war and how destitute and desperate it leaves not only the characters, but humanity as a whole.
