Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Wajda's intensity and passion, as well as his intelligence and craft, are unmistakable from the very first sequence. Virtually from the first shot. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: The great filmmaker's urge to show generations of his countrymen what they were told not to think about is what moves him, and while "Katyn" rises above didacticism, you can feel the director keeping his emotions in check throughout. – Boston Globe, May 29, 2009

Fresh: [Director] Wajda has brought some small measure of rest to their names, to Poland, and to history. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: Katyn is remarkably concise and (if one may say this about a cinematic commemoration of mass murder) elegant. – James Adams, Globe and Mail, Jul 17, 2009

must see this great movie

a must see documentary of horribly crime Soviets did on 22.000 innocent Polish officers. Thanks iTunes for adding this great movie. In contents of recent tragic death of President of Poland Lech Kaczynski, who died in plane crash while traveling to recognize Katyn's crime, this is the time the World must know and remember those who died in Katyn. Highly recommended very well done movie, nominated for Oscar.

Great Movie!

If you like WWII historical pics, you'll love this one. The historical cinematography is great, and a balanced portrait is set forth of the three sides (Poles, Germans, Russians). Katyn is an underknown event in the West. This movie is many things, but if nothing else, it underscores the abominable evil in the human heart.
