Bitva za Sevastopol

Soviet's own sniper queen gets her own movie. 309 kills during World War II and high international honors, that amounts to a fascinating life to make a movie out of. And the core idea of the movie makes for a solid experience, though a lot of this manages to become too artificial and dreamlike to really captivate. That doesn't mean it's not an interesting Russian/Ukraine co-production. Fine performance by Yuliya Peresild and it was awesome to learn that Woody Guthrie wrote a song about her!

Flawed but often fascinating.

Bitva za Sevastopol is a little rough around the edges but as it progresses more and more it becomes more and more interesting, bringing both entertainment and a great story with interesting characters and sad moments.

Not a bad drama about one of Russia's lady snipers from the Second World War.
