4/5
Once again after Rose (2011), Smarzowski pillaged the visual conventions of the western genre. The fact that such a talented director decided to open one of the Pandora’s boxes from Poland’s recent history is a privilege for movie-goers. Go to Full Review

Given how emotive and raw the subject is, it's remarkable how even-handed Smarzowski manages to be. Go to Full Review

@Ericka255 23h This is a brutal and raw story of the Ukrainian genocide and prosecution that everyone should watch to learn about it. It will leave you thinking about it. I didn't know about this dark and unknown history of Ukraine. See more Thomas S Sep 10 Un film qui m’a ébranlé jusque dans mes fondations. Je me souviens l’avoir découvert à sa sortie, au bureau, quand je travaillais en Bulgarie pendant mon Erasmus, incapable de détourner les yeux. Hatred (Volyn) a quelque chose de très proche d’Orgia de Gábor Zoltán : une fresque dantesque de l’hystérie collective, un miroir brutal tendu à ce qu’il y a de pire dans l’être humain.

People need to see the horrors as history will repeat. See more Jeff N 10/16/2024 The movie itself is very good, and touches on a mostly unknown event that occured during the war. The violence is very hard to watch, even moreso because it actually happened. See more 03/01/2022 In my opinion: a highly necessary film and one of modern masterpieces of war cinema, echoing Klimov's "Come and see" in its unforgiving brutal nature and mixing it with haunting imagery of something like Ben Wheatley's "Kill List". The scariest Polish horror movie ever, based on real-life events. Some people thought the movie will be a fuel for Polish nationalists anti-Ukraine propaganda, but it tackles the themes with honesty and no easy judgements, having sympathy towards both nations and understanding the pressures of inequal and divided society. Its a universal story; how mistreated can turn against the opressor/someone higher in social chain (while the real enmy is elswhere) to a very radical reaction. It always results with hell on earth. See more 05/06/2021 I don't understand the end, and it's brutal, but a good film. See more Read all reviews
