Camilla Long Times (UK) This film is horrible, searing, a pristine example of objectivity; it is shockingly graphic. It should be taught in every journalism school, watched in every living room. Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR The act of editing all this footage down to about an hour and a half has to have been hugely challenging, but the result is outstanding. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Linda Marric HeyUGuys The film is a cinematic tour de force that transcends the boundaries of traditional documentary-making, delivering a visceral and unforgettable account of war. 20 Days in Mariupol stands as one of the most impactful documentaries of our time. Rated: 5/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film An intense film with little respite even when no bullets are being fired. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Courageous reporting of the horrors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine by journalists on the ground as a city is destroyed. Rated: 5/5 Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine Chernov and his small crew put their lives on the line to record the destruction of Mariupol. ... The results reveal the senseless cruelty that comes with war in general, and this conflict in particular. Why this movie is essential should be self-evident. Rated: 4/4 Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom S This documentary puts you are the heart of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The tension and pain is present throughout, and the documentary crew do an incredible job of making you feel as though you are there with them, bearing witness to the destruction, the horror and the pain. Don't shy away from watching this essential documentary Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Harsh C Documents just a tiny fraction of the suffering inflicted on the people of Ukraine by the human pustule that is vladimir putin Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Alejandro E An intense chronicle of a military incursion, as iniquitous as it is unjustified, in which what the victims experience can be palpably appreciated. If you don't feel sad or angry after seeing it, you should see a doctor. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Jonah K another tough watch. it’s incredible that such high quality footage of this event can be captured, yet unfortunate that it has to exist at all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Mark B It’s impossible to watch this movie without tears. It’s very painful to watch what my country has done with Ukraine. Perhaps, 20 Days in Mariupol can show the truth to many Russians, who supporting Putin, on actions of Russian occupants Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Tom F A riveting experience. I’m impatient with stories portraying war as a glorious adventure because the reality looks like this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
