Leave your thoughts about The Saratov Approach.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinOverall, writer-director Garrett Batty takes such a tempered approach, the film lacks the kind of gritty, visceral tension that life-and-death tales such as this normally demand. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThere's not as much suspense as the premise suggests, thanks to a bloated middle section that's more concerned with religious reflection than practical negotiation. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryThe final result is suspenseful, faith-promoting and very entertaining. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenConcerned more with inspirational messages than dramatic subtlety, it remains an item best suited to believers. |
| User ReviewKurt CExtremely emotional but incredibly beautiful. I bawled all through the second half. Good thing I was alone in that theatre! |
| User ReviewMax MI liked this a lot. The plot doesn't deviate very far from the true events that inspired the film. I felt that the acting was very real and sincere, and there were definitely those moments of suspense. The turn of events is touching, and you can really feel the humanity in each of the characters. This is definitely a movie I would see again, and i would definitely bring a friend. |
| User ReviewEliza JThis film is inspiring, and bold. It drives you to a deep desire to become more. The Saratov Approach sticks with you. Amongst my favorite films of 2013. A must see!! |
| User ReviewEric LGreat movie! Wonderful inspiring story, told exceptionally well. |
| User ReviewJodi PThis story is exceptionally well told. It captures the emotion without over sensationalizing the harsh reality, fears and spiritual experiences from these two missionaries. My wife and I saw it and I later took my 11 year old and 8 year old. We will own this movie on DVD when it comes out. |
| User ReviewAdam KGreat movie. Gripping and fascinating story, told from the perspective of the captives. I listened to the real Travis Tuttle discuss the fascinating authenticity of the movie tonight. This is a great real story for everyone to see. |
