Audience Member I have a B.A. in Russian Area Studies and studied in Leningrad in 1981. I just viewed "Saving Leningrad" on Amazon Prime. It wouldn't be a good film in its native Russian, but is rendered worse and "de-russified" via English dubbing by poor vocal actors. The film is all over the place, difficult to comprehend, and features a drawn-out land battle with no real connection to the film. It includes, for some reason, an improbable NKVD (KGB) agent on an incomprehensible mission. The 900-day Siege of Leningrad was tragic and easily lends itself to a dramatic telling. You wonder, however, find that here. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member i think the movie is really bad.where has the russian realism gone. this is a remake of titamic, a really bad one with that.even the actress comes close to the actual actress in titANIC. The worst is that everyone is nice ,even the nkvd officer.totally soapy, this is a putin propaganda film.why not more people were evacuated from leningrad and therefore condemned to starve to death before the nazis closed off everything is not explained.obviusly a lavish propduction but of no interest for a half way interested and informed viewer. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The director tried to follow how the titanic movie was made, with Rose telling the story. Acting was sub-par at best. I like watching historical fact based war movies, this one i just couldn't get into. Just as you think the movie might get interesting....it was over. then you could read what happened to the end. i would have cut out some of the meaningless sets and added a way better ending. lack of money may have been a factor for that. Russians speak in English and the Germans speak German(you read what they are saying), unless you know German of course.
