I have sat through some challenging stuff. I have sat through some utter shit, to the bitter end. But I will NOT sit through an hour and a half of one guy reading out every character's lines in the most dull, lifeless voice imaginable.

Wrenching tale of a boy during the Nazi invasion of the USSR and the horrors he witnesses. Based on tales of survivors brought to the screen by director Elem Klimov after a years-long battle with Soviet censors in his last film, and especially scary now that fascism is on the rise again.
