Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) A devastating and devastatingly simple documentary of life in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol during March of this year, when constant Russian bombardment had reduced everything to rubble. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety In “Mariupolis 2,” we’re looking at vérité snapshots of war as it happens, and that’s a thing of value. May 20, 2022 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) The film itself feels like wreckage, fragmented and strewn, and as hot to the touch as the chunk of scalding debris we see the survivors pass from hand to hand in amazed disbelief. Rated: 4/5 May 20, 2022 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle As expected, Mariupolis 2 is difficult to watch...The people of Maripol no longer have the privilege to be phased by death or properly mourn. Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Winnie Wang Cinema Scope Ultimately, Kvedaravičius’ career ends on a high note, his fourth and final film a valuable object that testifies to the courage and resilience of his subjects.. Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine There is sadness, but life continues. Death is ever present, closer every time, while survival becomes harder. Hastily put together… a doc that demonstrates observing a war in a way that television never has. [Full review in Spanish] May 23, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
