It might perhaps have been better to leave this extraordinary assemblage of real found footage to speak for itself - but that cameraman's commentary on his own acts of image-making and eyewitness also helps viewers relate to [the] material

New York Times

The flaws don't detract from the film's casual and calamitous sights - from soldiers shaving and hanging out, to a no-man's-land conference with a Nazi, to a sorrowful survivor of bombardment who looks as if he might crumble and blow away.

Despite its context in a global conflict, Uprising is a strangely intimate film.

Giuseppe Sedia

Kino Mania

Seeing the smiles of the insurgents as they build barricades and weapons and joke around lays bare uncharted emotional paths that could never be explored in a feature film. Polish cinema has finally produced its own Germany, Year Zero.

Rated: 5/5

Cookie cutter bad movie. Actors look like models after 5 years of starving.

The viewpoint of the anti-communist forces along with the brothers' narrations brings the haunting details into close, intimate reality for contemporary viewers.
