Leave your thoughts about 20 Days in Mariupol.
| The New York TimesJason Farago20 Days in Mariupol, a relentless and truly important documentary, engulfs us in the initial ferocity of Russia’s siege of a city whose name has become a byword for this war’s inhumanity: My Lai, Srebrenica, Aleppo, Mariupol. |
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithThe narrator tells us that a doctor said to him, “War is like an X-ray. All human insides become visible. Good people become better; bad people, worse.” Such astute observations, together with the harrowing imagery, lift “20 Days in Mariupol” to the ranks of the great war documentaries. |
| ColliderTherese LacsonThere is no comfort when watching 20 Days in Mariupol, but it's the bitter pill we must all swallow to remind ourselves of what people are going through every day in Ukraine. Chernov's account is but a snippet of the war and should galvanize people into action. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller Seitz20 Days in Mariupol, about the first 20 days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, spares no one's sensibilities. It goes on a short list of great documentaries that the viewer will never want to watch again and likely won't need to because some of the images are so gruesome and the context so upsetting that they'll be burned into your memory. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleAcrid and harrowing, it’ll slap you awake. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerProvides a remarkable snapshot of the war crimes that—as the daily news reminds us—are still being perpetrated today |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonAlthough the war in Ukraine is still raging, 20 Days in Mariupol is already a historical document. So much has happened in the war in the 14 months since these events, and graphic, front-lines reporting is now ubiquitous. However, Chernov’s team was among the first to document what many say are war crimes by Russian troops, and it provided an early window into the conflict for Western news media. |
| Paste MagazineTrace SaveurShot entirely from the perspective of Chernov’s lone camera, 20 Days in Mariupol is a demanding and visceral watch. |
| Rolling StoneDavid Fear20 Days in Mariupol gives you a sense of life during wartime that isn’t an abstraction, some distant thing happening to people thousands of miles away. The intimate feeling of what it’s like to have your country invaded, your living spaces demolished, and your closest family members killed before your eyes is palpable, and also gut-wrenching. |
| IndieWireAdam SolomonsIf 20 Days in Mariupol is about anything, it’s how much destruction can be done in such a short time. |
