      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Bitter Harvest lives down to its title with a clichéd wartime romance whose clumsy melodrama dishonors the victims of the real-life horrors it uses as a backdrop.

      Audience Member I did not really care for this movie. That being said; Is there really any question, after seeing this movie, why the brave Ukrainians are fighting the Russians to the death? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Americans don't know about the 1932-1933 man made famine that killed millions of innocent Ukrainian lives. We needed this film. Everyone is a tough critic. It doesn't matter if it's not a perfect movie, as it shows history to those that didn't know about this awful tragedy. 🇺🇦🙏🏻💙💪🏼 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is impressive and is hailed by critics of the new Khmer Rouge who sincerely believe that the communists' piles of corpses smell better than the Nazis' piles of corpses Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review jackie s I enjoyed the movie. I am glad I watched it because as well as being entertained I learned things I had never even heard about. I would recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review mauro l The directing is so ridiculous as to be an outrage at the Ukrainian genocide. (Mauro Lanari) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Apparently critics really hate films that cast light on the crimes committed by their beloved Communist regimes.

      Karen Han CutPrintFilm Despite the fact that it was a genocide that claimed millions of lives, the Holodomor is not particularly well known. Bitter Harvest is not the film to bring attention to it. Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail This is a story of villainous oppression, unfortunately told with oppressive earnestness. Rated: 1/4 Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's not Zhivago. The big picture is drawn a little too hastily for that. But it is a rousing tale with political pertinence, given the current state of relations between Russia and the Ukraine. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2017 Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com It's a bad sign when even the prayers in this movie are crappy. Rated: 1/4 Feb 7, 2021 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Bitter Harvest is both haunting and engrossing. An emotional powerhouse of a film, it is an emotionally resonant, riveting telling of history. Fear and terror is palpable. Pain is resonant. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Clearly a deeply felt film whose producers' mission is to cast a spotlight on a hidden Ukrainian tragedy, Bitter Harvest has difficulty living up to the powerful tragic sweep of its subject. Rated: 2/5 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
