Reviews


50
Slant Magazine - Oleg Ivanov
The film is an awkward mix of swashbuckling love story and polemic, painted in very broad strokes.

Movie Nation - Roger Moore
Bitter Harvest never amounts to more than a colorful misfire, a picture with much of the pageant of the period, but little of the roiling passions that dominate politics in the Breadbasket of Europe, even today.
50
Boston Globe - Peter Keough
As the film darkens, it intensifies its focus on tragedy and atrocity and begins to do some justice to one of the largest and least known genocides in history.
42
The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Even if it weren’t about an atrocity, this training-wheels Doctor Zhivago would still be lame.
40
Village Voice - Pete Vonder Haar
A subject like the Holodomor demands something more than a TV-movie aesthetic and pitched battle scenes featuring a couple dozen combatants.
