Katyn is remarkably concise and (if one may say this about a cinematic commemoration of mass murder) elegant.
James Adams, Globe and Mail
Fresh
Wajda's intensity and passion, as well as his intelligence and craft, are unmistakable from the very first sequence. Virtually from the first shot.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
The principal success of Wajda's stately, widescreen and exquisitely shot film lies in its sober attempt to mirror the fragmented truth of a genocide.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh
Has sweep and conviction and, most rewardingly, a long-overdue revelation of historical truth.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
