The first historical film I saw directly showed the historical facts of the Great Famine in the Soviet Union and Ukraine before 1932-33. The director was a Polish female director born in 48 years of our time. Her work has always focused on historical reality. From these two points alone, I should give the film a high score! The truth of history cannot be forgotten, let alone buried. The film described Mr. Jones, the first British journalist who exposed the Great Famine in the Western world....

69th Berlinale is looking forward to it, and it will inevitably be disappointed. The intelligent and "naturally blind" personality of the male protagonist is an obstacle to watching this movie. Such a good character prototype is a...

I feel so related... Horan's American drama is basically suitable for this story (although it is still a little too American drama), it combines film noir style (noir seems to be very popular in Poland recently?), the effect is better than the one two years ago. It's so much better; here, Communism is desperate, Captalism is selfish, the spark of love burns out of ideals and beliefs and finally disappears into an unbridgeable distance/chasm, and finally a hopeless ending, how contemporary... I...

Three and a half stars, the whole film is almost black and white, cold and insipid without any turbulence, the hungry people are only numb, the Jones who sees it is only shocked, the reporters and politicians are only ignorant, in such a Western world economic depression , and all look forward to the success of the eastern social experiment, and the eastern world also looks forward to the era of using Pulitzer's words to gain the recognition and trade of the western world, all of which seem to...

What comes to mind when you think of Ukraine? My first reaction was the Great Famine during the Soviet era. But it's not as good as expected, the first half of the movie is dull and the second half is long. If it weren't for the fact that the subject matter hardly corresponds to the current situation in Ukraine, I probably wouldn't have read it. Stalin's collectivization of agriculture was aimed at realizing industrial modernization, which is the cruel essence of Leninism. Then came George...

I watched this movie on the day when Russia and Ukraine turned their backs on me. Alas, with such a history, do you still expect Ukraine to have a really happy play with...

3.5 stars. Well made. There are too many tasteless characters, and the middle section suddenly becomes an adventure for backpackers to brave the Soviet Union. The "reporter's insistence on the truth" behind it feels a little underpowered as a driving force. George Orwell plays uncle benji very sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks British version of Jon...
