Tomas T As for the film itself, so cool. Unfortunately, the film leaves out important historical facts (probably on purpose) that are important to the overall picture of earlier events. In addition, at times the film was too bloated. So from a historical point of view one doesn't take much away from the film. From a historical point of view the film is not very good, but from a purely cinematic point of view it was not bad. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Johanna F what a gorgeous film! overall, the script, tight and realistic, the acting overall superb, the filming much of it in first person /very intense..and the soundtrack.. -- riveting..a tremendously important film on the freedom of the press...REGARDLESS if the attempts to 'cap and break' are coming from the left or right...demonstrating the enormity of courage and the centrality to any democratic nation, any democratic people of verifying the news...yes...of FACT checking (!)...and of speaking the truth.. The film takes you THERE -- into Prague Spring of 1968...in a way that not even the coverage in the west fully captured..a couple of disconnects early in the film and in one or two sequences...but the heft of this 2 hours carried all of it with barely a glitch.. This is a MUST SEE film for anyone wanting to understand the difference between the drivel we get in much of our current press (held hostage to government and corporation speak) and what has increasingly moved into independent, investigative journalism... This makes you cheer for the bravery, the integrity, the reality that was the Czech community of journalists...and a reminder of the importance of this kind of journalism -- to freedom everywhere. Where each of us must do whatever we can to assist, to protect and to applaud them! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Petr H A really great movie showing how history is made by common people. A well structured story ang great acting. Superb soundtrack. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Eva Z Deffinitely an underrated movie on the international level, even though in the Czech Republic is it one of the greatest movie created in last few years. It shows how the communist regime worked in countries controlled by Soviet Union and although, they didnt share the same ideas as the Soviet Union, they were crushed and manipulated. It gave me chills several times, thoughout watching, realising, this was a reality 30 years ago (of course, this movie is set in 1968, but communist regime was in power to the end of 1989). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Martin B This movie portrays the meaning of the year '68 in Czechoslovak history so well, it's unbelievable. Usually I don't have big expectations for local production, but this, it blew me away. Cinematography - excellent. Story - excellent. History - excellent. Waves (Vlny) wins in every aspect for me.
