A noble attempt to honour the resilience of Ukrainians and the courage of ordinary people like Voronin, fighting for freedom.

Rated: 3/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's well-made, a real explosion of a war movie -- but it's nationalistic.

Its release arrives as troubling reports on Russia’s invasion of the country break almost daily, and the movie’s themes of nationalism, rage and resilience resonate even as its glassiness holds viewers at a distance.

Dose of Buffa

If there’s one takeaway outside of solid acting and a satisfying conclusion, it’s that the process of becoming a sniper and how one lives and operates is properly explored here.

Rated: B+

El Pais (Spain)

Avoids touching upon human complexity: classic war movies know how to portray nuanced characters behind the enemy lines, even within the Nazis; but here, that just doesn't happen. [Full review in Spanish]

Culture Mix

Sniper: The White Raven, which takes place during Ukraine's Donbas conflict, is one of the dullest war movies you'll ever see. The movie becomes cliché-ridden, with acting as hollow and action as trite as anything in a shoddy video game.

Plus, plus for authenticity. It certainly doesn't put Russians in a good light, and that's another plus. I don't know if the US can make a war movie this good.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
