Babi Yar. Context Ratings & Reviews
InSession Film
Alessandra Rangel
While its footage is historically invaluable, Babi Yar. Context is an urgent reminder of human callousness and the cruelty that we need to avoid at all costs.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
Such is the complexity that Loznitsa brings. It isn't just a matter of one evil, but rather the seemingly endless cycle as a pawn of continued evil that plagues the nation.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Unique, extraordinary, and essential archival evidence on the dark shadow that Ukraines 20th century history casts over the country today, despite being a bit long, slow, and confusing.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The dual nature of Babi Yar. Context as both an essay movie and a cut-up historic document might create an uneasy tension with viewers who would like to know more about whatever theyre looking at.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The past that Loznitsa excavates casts its shadow on the present. Knowing about it won't make anything easier, but not knowing can make everything worse.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Sergei Loznitsa continues to mine the archives for what amount to living documents of a past that, as is all too clear, reverberate into the present with devastating force.
Film-Forward.com
Phil Guie
Ultimately, director Sergei Loznitsa performs nothing less than a miracle by stitching together found footage from multiple sources into a coherent, unsettling depiction of war and human loss.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Preferring to let the juxtaposition of shots and scenes do the work, he does as the title promises, bringing context to the tragedy.
Clapper
Carson Timar
Babi Yar. Context might be one of the most difficult and off-putting films of the year, but it also is one of the most needed.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
It is not an easy film to watch at times, and Loznitsa doesn't shy away from showing the depths of human evil.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
While still potent, Sergei Loznista's attempt to place the Babi Yar massacre within a particular context doesn't stand up with his best work.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
Babi Yar. Context represents an important act of remembrance that nevertheless requires yet still more context.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Babi Yar. Context is essential viewing for anyone looking to understand Jew-hatred in the 1930-40s.
