The 2017 Victory Day celebrations at Berlin's Soviet War Memorial.

Sight & Sound

The filmmaker simultaneously gives us everything and nothing... it's the combination of tight framing and the evident distance between the camera and its subjects that creates Victory Day's chief artistic attributes of intimacy and detachment.

"Victory Day" seems so simple, but it is properly complex: a conflicted memorial to a conflicted memorial.

Victory Day reflects Loznitsa's enduring preoccupation with communities engaging with, or enmeshed in the creation of history.

CineVue

A rounded portrait of humanity, and how memories are not perfect reconstructions of the past, Victory Day is a subtle study of patriotism and the complex relationship between time and memory.

Rated: 3/5

Peers at a place brimming with history and watches the people who walk across the site, turning their reactions into an observational portrait of humanity processing the past.
