This movie looks fantastic. Totally gave me chills. I even got a bit teary!

I saw this trailer before There Will Be Blood and I was excited because Liev Schreiber is in it... I think he's an underrated character actor. Really looking forward to it.

Otriad Bielski

I finally caught it!
Fabulous depiction of Jewish Belorussian refugees fleeing the holocaust & establishing themselves as partisans in the forest. Specifically the Bielski brothers who hold together this camp. The largest partisan group of the war.
Some interesting 'lord of the flies' type moments as they build their 'Otriad' or partisan brigade.
And the tension of fighting Axis soldiers, while the russians think of them more or less as jew bandits with a common enemy.

Theres a great feeling of atmosphere as some scenes are subtitled & all the actors seem deeply immersed in the depiction of Europeans enduring the war.

I saw this the other day.

Is it on general release in the US?

I just saw this last night. It's a great movie. It was more violent and intense than I anticipated, but it was really good. It's difficult to call the film "good" when the subject matter is so sad. I definitely recommend it!
