3/5
It's a sometimes hard-hitting, always heartfelt film - and star Bel Powley is an actor with an umami-style knack for adding depth to any film she's in. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 09/14/2019
It is relentlessly bleak, but within that tonal bleakness there is some really striking imagery. Go to Full Review Rex Reed Observer 01/11/2019
1/4
Filmmakers never seem to run out of footnotes to history during World War II. This one is better served in the pages of a novel. It doesn't work on film. Go to Full Review Jamie Healy Radio Times 05/09/2024
2/5
Without those redemptive highs or soul-destroying lows to stir the emotions, the overall effect can be a bit numbing, making this a rather forgettable tribute to the countless victims of Soviet oppression. Go to Full Review Daisy Leigh-Phippard Screen Queens 02/21/2022
Its ultimately confused about what it wants to be and who its about, likely leaning too faithfully on its literary inspiration text. But it is an important story to tell, and will hopefully attract attention from a teenage audience. Go to Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia 07/10/2019
Brings the horror and suffering to life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tim M @tgmacman Sep 26 Though it pays tribute to a historical human atrocity seldom seen in Western cinema, Ashes in the Snow can't find its way through narrative and directorial inertness. See more Alain E @AlainE Jun 26 A saccharine movie about the atrocities perpetrated by Stalin against Lithuania. By itself , this is assault against the viewers. See more 01/01/2022 One sadly portrait of what was the soviet comunist regime occupation on the Baltic republics and the tirany of the red army rules in Lithuania under the orders of Stalin. Great movie. Must watch #Lithuania #Freedom #URSS #Gulags See more 11/07/2021 This adaption is unfortunately bleak and unsatisfying. The potential was wasted with World War II cliches. The film lacks substance compared to the fantastic story it's based on. The plot never gives our characters time to develop. The only thing this movie achieved right was the casting. In conclusion, the inspirational story has been turned into a dull and boring big-screen adaptation! It's not worth watching. See more 08/01/2021 Ashes in the Snow?
