Camilla Long

Times (UK)

This film is horrible, searing, a pristine example of objectivity; it is shockingly graphic. It should be taught in every journalism school, watched in every living room.

The act of editing all this footage down to about an hour and a half has to have been hugely challenging, but the result is outstanding.

The film is a cinematic tour de force that transcends the boundaries of traditional documentary-making, delivering a visceral and unforgettable account of war. 20 Days in Mariupol stands as one of the most impactful documentaries of our time.

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

Chernov and his small crew put their lives on the line to record the destruction of Mariupol. ... The results reveal the senseless cruelty that comes with war in general, and this conflict in particular. Why this movie is essential should be self-evident.

Rated: 4/4
