The invasion of a village in Byelorussia by German forces sends young Florya into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha, who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.

as soon as this film ended i went online and enlisted in the US army. no child will ever suffer like this again on my watch
Come and See is a film I find almost impossible to review. Describing watching a film as an 'experience' often detracts from the quality of the piece, but going by the profound effect the film had on me I really feel no other word can do it justice.
World War 2 films often seem to fall victim to Hollywood romanticism and sensationalism and while that certainly has some appeal, I always prefer my war films on the grimmer side. Grim and bleak is something the Russians do really well and combined with the atrocities that occurred during WW2 in Belarus, what we are presented with is one of the most disturbing and confrontational studies of the devastating effects of war…
(guy who's still buzzing from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse)
this is significantly less fun than Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
apparently elem klimov wanted to name this film kill hitler and i think that's beautiful
100%, no doubt in my mind, this is the best film ever made. I cannot believe this is real, I'm so fucking glad I saw this in theaters.
Francois Truffaut once said that it is impossible to make a truly anti-war film, because depictions of war are thrilling by their very nature. I know he said this because I’ve heard it quoted ten thousand times, always by people who are about to name a movie that is an exception to Truffaut’s maxim. Safe to say at this point that he was wrong. Idiot. Let’s ratio him.
An apocalyptic nightmare of pure brutalizing evil shot and sequenced in intimate, hyperreal historical detail. Unbearable extreme close-ups of its witnesses and beautiful roaming camera moves (ensuring we see even what the characters maybe miss) that in tandem form a series of vivid, unsparing, and surreal vignettes around the psychological experience of unimaginably barbaric horror being made tangible. You can practically smell the mud and fire and corpses, and just like the young boy in this film I too feel like I just aged 100 years in 2 hours.
Come and See is the most unforgiving war film I have ever seen. It is an astonishing work of pure devastation. The filmmaking is emotive, intent on capturing the experiences of the characters more than their reality, using both audio and visual techniques that emulate human perception. The best war films are made by sides who lost or suffered great losses. Come and See is thus a poignant reminder that the Eastern Front was the deadliest conflict in human history. Hollywood, rarely able to contemplate that all war is a human disaster, would never and could never make a film like this. At first I thought people had overstated the horrors of Come and See, but the final act presents…
