Review of Smolensk

Smolensk (2016)
8/10
Impressed by the abyss between reviews and the movie
16 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is not a document, although it contains documentary ingredients. It puts together different facts and arrive at a certain conclusion. Taking into account the confusions, evasions, understatements and passivity of the previous Polish government - this movie shows in an elegant way, without exaggeration, the suffering of the families, the doubts still present in hearts of many Polish people, the unexpressed questions. How? Why? What is the truth? There is no streams of tears, no lamentations and yet it is very touching.

Questions, doubts and artistic vision of possible answer.

Where is the propaganda? I can't understand all that hate and contempt present in reviews. It makes me question reviewers decency... But in the end everyone has right to express their opinions freely and diversity is an advantage not a disadvantage.

So thank you Andrzej Krauze for your patience, courage and an effort. Thank you for the movie that was simply needed by many Poles I needed it.
