Movie Reviews

Shockya.com - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenKitsch romance amid Uncle Joe Stalin's pogroms.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongThis is a shameful piece of history that deserves a far better film.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekStrives for a 'Doctor Zhivago' vibe but falls miles short...the earnest but unimaginative approach results in an old-fashioned romantic melodrama that fails to do justice to the historical horrors that serve as its backdrop.
Epoch Times - 8/10 by Joe BendelVividly shines a light on a criminally under-reported and often deliberately misunderstood case of systematic mass murder, while the family saga picks up speed and power as it develops.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Jeffrey EdalatpourBitter Harvest is also lit like a Pre-Raphaelite painting that exudes an atmosphere of unreal gloss and innocence.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 7/10 by Jeanne KaplanI so wanted "Bitter Harvest" to be a grand, sweeping saga, exposing this indefensible, outrageous crime. Alas, it is not.
Blu-ray.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfA painfully melodramatic take on world events, working to welcome audiences into bleak territory through a romantic tale of lost lovers, and the fantasy doesn't mesh with reality.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 7/10 by David KaplanIn all fairness, director George Mendeluk had an almost impossible task of telling the story of Stalin's reign of terror in only 103 minutes.
Sydney Morning Herald - 6/10 by Sandra HallIt's not Zhivago. The big picture is drawn a little too hastily for that. But it is a rousing tale with political pertinence, given the current state of relations between Russia and the Ukraine.
AV Club - 6/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyEven if it weren’t about an atrocity, this training-wheels Doctor Zhivago would still be lame.
