Watch Come and See For Free

Best movie ever!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

1943, German-occupied Belarus. A teenage boy, Florya, joins the partisans and expects a life of duty and adventure. Little prepares him for the terror and brutality he will witness.Power, brutal WW2 drama. Shows the horror of war - certainly not your average glamour-and-glory WW2 movie. In particular, demonstrates well the atrocities the Germans, and the SS especially, inflicted on Russian civilians in WW2.Not perfect though. Starts in haphazard style, with plot developments that sometimes don't make sense or seem random. Some of the acting can be a bit hammy at times too. However, from a point the movie finds its focus and from then on it is a relentless, gritty, tension-filled ride.

5/18/18. Probably one of the most graphic anit-war film you will ever watch. Though brutal all the way through, and if you can stomach the atrocities, this film will make you rethink the reason why we must pray for peace all the time so men won't have the opportunity to act out the cruelty shown in this movie. As seen through the eyes of a 13 year-old, it is unbearable to watch what he had to go through and they commit unmentionable acts of genocide. The end sequence in which he tries to turn back the hands of history is as surreal as the atrocities he had to witness and incredibly live through. According to Roger Ebert, the experiences of the co-writer of the script, Ales Adamovich was used to inform the film. Worth watching, but it will be rough if you have a heart. And, you will never look at a cow the same way after seeing this movie.

I have a friend from Minsk, whose great grandfather survived the war and lived to be over 90. That man used to watch war films obsessively and always found himself disappointed. Kept saying "it was nothing like this".Then he watched Come and See, my friend showed it to him. The man was silent for a long time afterwards and finally said:"Resembles the truth."

The movies starts rather slowly and just like a real storm rises up and up until it riches you with all its power and takes you up into the bloody, dusty, dirty and cruel atmosphere of the war.There are some exaggerations which I think are not unrealistic but maybe probability of their occurrence in a sequence is not high, even in the world war. However, I think it is intended and the scenes are masterfully developed to compress more necessary plots in the limited time of a movie.you will be introduced with the horror of war in the 30 minutes of the movie in which you haven't experienced before. No matter hoe many movies you have seen or how many stories you have read, you will have a new experience here for sure. Don't miss this movie
