Sara Clements Next Best Picture A harrowing documentary, but also an incredibly beautiful one in its display of humanity at a time when all humanity seems lost. Rated: 9/10 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex The heartwarming tale is not without tragedy, but the story shows the importance of communal work. Rated: 6/10 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today What these amazing citizens of Kharkiv pull off is a feat that deserves not only this powerful cinematic tribute, but a resounding cheer from around the globe. Rated: 4/5 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest A thriller about war and tragedy, loss and rescue, love of animals and human commitment, at a private park in Ukraine, just 15 miles from Russia.
