Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
[Director] Wajda has brought some small measure of rest to their names, to Poland, and to history.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Katyn is remarkably concise and (if one may say this about a cinematic commemoration of mass murder) elegant.
– James Adams,

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,
19 Jun 2009
fresh:
The principal success of Wajda's stately, widescreen and exquisitely shot film lies in its sober attempt to mirror the fragmented truth of a genocide.
– Dave Calhoun,

fresh:
Has sweep and conviction and, most rewardingly, a long-overdue revelation of historical truth.
