Top Critics Reviews

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

fresh:

– Dave Calhoun,

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,
