Movie Reviews

Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- "Fedor Bondarchuk’s film loosely retells the true story of Pavlov’s House: a single platoon that managed to hold a building, 300-style, for a year against waves of Nazis." - 02/17/2014 Total Film


"The movie is a rah-rah tribute to the scrappy comrades who fought the Nazis in what became one of the bloodiest battles in history." - 03/03/2014 Entertainment Weekly


"[I]t's worth seeing...largely because of the explicitly Russian qualities its sustains." - 02/28/2014 RogerEbert.com
