Kanal Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The film turns combat-film clichs upside down.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Flames up above and smoky streams below, the inverted Hades of occupied Warsaw
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Wajda's second movie, set in Warsaw in 1944, is politically significant and emotionally stirring
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
may very well be Wajda's finest film
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A picture of considerable worth.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Despair dominates here and once he gets down and dirty in the sewers, Wajda makes no concessions toward his audience in lessening the severity of his vision, for better or worse.
