On the run and hiding in the deep forests of the then German-occupied Poland and Belorussia (World War II), the four Bielski brothers find the impossible task of foraging for food and weapons for their survival. They live, not only with the fear of discovery, contending with neighboring Soviet partisans and knowing whom to trust but also take the responsibility of looking after a large mass of fleeing Polish Jews from the German war machine. Women, men, children, the elderly and the young alike are all hiding in makeshift homes in the dark, cold and unforgiving forests in the darkest times of German-occupied Eastern Europe.
Leave your thoughts about Defiance.
| PremiereGene NewmanThe perfect antidote to the post-holiday blues. It's exciting, well-acted, touching, and genuine. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt's an exciting action spectacle and a thoughtful, cumulatively moving family drama. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleThe film isn't much of a character study; too many of its secondary characters are stereotypes, and it never fully engages our emotions the way "Schindler's List" or "The Pianist" did. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyHere, Jews are not victims of genocide, but victors in the organized resistance against it. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe battle scenes are well choreographed and contain enough uncertainty to make them genuinely exciting, but one would expect no less from a man who has overseen Civil War engagements (Glory) and Japanese strife (The Last Samurai). |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIt's a heroic story, and Zwick frames it rather too strenuously as an antidote to the generic Holocaust stories of Jewish passivity and martyrdom. And yet, as a piece of historical redress, a great service has been done in bringing this narrative to the screen. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyDefiance, as it turns out, makes insistent emotional demands, and those who respond to it at all, as I did, are likely to go all the way and even come out of it feeling slightly stunned. |
| TimeRichard CorlissDefiance says that it took grit, desperation and courage under fire to say, "Not this time," and fire back. Beyond that, it's a pretty good movie -- a bold, uneasy mix of romance, political debate and vigorous action. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayIt's impossible to watch Defiance without experiencing a vicarious thrill of resistance and revenge. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanZwick offers excitingly staged moments, but once you get past the novelty of WWII Jews acting this heroically macho, Defiance bogs down in a not very well-developed script. |
