“A well done picture speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves and would be gladly considered never existing by some.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough itu0026#39;s difficult to credibly and adequately convey the horror of such a murder which became a life tragedy for many Polish families and undoubtedly affected the way Poland looked after the war I think the director made a good job. Especially so, that it happened to be his personal tragedy as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite that the movie is well-balanced with emotions and atmosphere. Modest colors and anxious music by Penderecki emphasize the horror of those who were waiting. Short cuts of brutal scenes of murder leave speechless. No additional comment is needed.”
