It seems a lot of the reviews on here are politically motivated, which is an abuse of the review and rating system and shouldn't be allowed. I know nothing about lithuanian history and partisans so my opinion is strictly about this film as a film.
It's a pretty good movie, even it it's a bit long and has a lot of what could be consider filler. For example, I don't think the story of the son's real parents matters to the story at all but it did add depth to the characters. Could've spent that time on the partisans instead. The acting is fantastic and made me feel sad for the characters getting killed. It's a depressing story about the changes that come after war.
It looks pretty good too. Nice colors and locations. If this was an american film it would get some award show hype I think.
