Julian P @JulianPoulter 1d Great movie. First - it's an important movie as it poses questions as to how long the west knew about Stalin's destruction of his own people and did nothing. It's far slower and more intense than expected but it is superbly crafted and James Norton is perfect. See more Natalia B. @RT16602741 Nov 21 The film is absolutely amazing! One of the best historical films ever! See more D V @RT11182623 Aug 28 This picture is entertaining enough, but the timelines are so conflated as to give it the feel of historical fiction. The Holodomor was started 1932 and ended in 1933, the very same year that Hitler became chancellor. It's impossible to reconcile the event timelines as portrayed. Lloyd George didn't meet Hitler until 1936, so how did he arrange Jones meeting with him in 1932 or '33?? Then there's the Orwell/ Animal Farm problem; Orwell didn't write Animal Farm until ten years after the Holomodor. These are head-shaking historical timeline inaccuracies that were completely unnecessary to the telling of an otherwise important historical event.

See more The B @RT12865469 04/27/2025 This is an important movie in light of current events in Ukraine! Not quibbling about story-flow or (especially) photography...it's the STORY of Russia's relationship over the decades with Ukraine. And of an amazing Welsh reporter named Gareth Jones---an actual, real-life historical person who travelled to Ukraine in the time portrayed. See more R H @RT35663249 12/06/2024 Important and relevant. Though not 100% accurate, it's very important and should lead to further and greater discourse and disclosure. Well written, well acted, well timed. See more Read all reviews
