Come and See Reviews

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out. Well, the damned thing definitely deserves its notorious reputation and it is indeed by far the bleakest WWII movie I have seen. Of course, I’m well aware of the atrocities that happened back then in Western Europa but I’m not so familiar with what happened in Eastern Europa, in particular, the Soviet Union, but the horrors perpetuated there reached a really despicable level. To make it all even more horrific, everything was also told from the point of view of a very young boy. Eventually, this movie also displayed how kids might develop some massive PTSD by spending so much time, sometimes even years, in such war zone and by being relentlessly confronted with such horrific events. To be honest, I have to admit that it is a rather difficult movie to grasp though. Indeed, nothing is told in a straightforward way and, instead, you get a series of really chaotic events and, as a result, it can be frustrating to watch. However, if you manage to hold on to it, you might come to the conclusion that its chaotic nature could be actually a perfect reflection of the chaotic nature of war itself. Indeed, many more war movies might be easier to swallow but, in fact, all these movies are just way too neat and, as a result, they could be actually glorifying war, even if it was unintentional. Here, war is the stuff of nightmare that you will probably never forget and that’s probably how it should be. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was not an easy watch, it was still one of the most daunting war movies I have seen and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you don’t mind getting depressed or disgust while watching a movie. 

Review en español:
Impactante Y Cruda visión de la segunda guerra mundial a través de los ojos de un niño.
La película no se tienta el corazón en mostrarte el verdadero horror de la guerra.Aparte de la actuación del niño protagonista, que tengo que decir que es una de las mejores actuaciones infantiles que he visto, su actuación y su personaje es manejado de manera brutal. Casi irreconocible al final. También tiene una dirección de cámara en mano excelente y una edición de sonido muy Bueno.

Eso si, Es MUY FUERTE Y CRUDA el como retrata los hechos.De las mejores película de guerra que he visto

Review in English:

Shocking and raw vision of the Second World War through the eyes of a child.
The film does not tempt the heart to show you the true horror of the war. Apart from the performance of the protagonist child, which I have to say is one of the best children's performances I have seen, his performance and his character is brutally handled . Almost unrecognizable at the end. It also has an excellent camera address in hand and a very good sound editing.

That's right, it's VERY STRONG and CRUDE as it portrays the facts. From the best war movie I've seen

Jesus Christ, I am at a loss for words: Come and See is a film I find almost impossible to review.
