A sense of foreboding permeates “Intercepted” from its first few frames, cueing audiences that they are about to witness something sinister. Documentarian Oksana Karpovych shows peaceful images of children playing outside and birds chirping in the distance. Also heard on the soundtrack are ominous recordings, not exactly music but faint siren-like sounds that announce the film’s subject.

The principal source in Karpovych’s film are the phone calls of Russian soldiers intercepted by Ukrainian security forces between March and November 2022. Complementing these conversations are the haunting images of the abandoned buildings, empty roads and overall effects of the war in Ukraine, as captured by cinematographer Christopher Nunn. However, what gives “Intercepted” a unique quality and makes it such a damning piece...
