Synopsis

The invasion of a village in Byelorussia by German forces sends young Florya into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha, who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
adonis98-743-186503 After finding an old rifle, a young boy joins the Soviet resistance movement against ruthless German forces and experiences the horrors of World War II. Idi i smotri is another example of an overrated film being on the Top 250 and it doesn't really belong here cause it's just another boring movie with nothing new to give or say and just because it's not american we need to congratulate it or whatever and i mean the movie wasn't all that good to begin with it was boring, dumb and just way too bland to fully really enjoy it as a whole. (0/10)
tamara-persikova I have a friend from Minsk, whose great grandfather survived the war and lived to be over 90. That man used to watch war films obsessively and always found himself disappointed. Kept saying "it was nothing like this".Then he watched Come and See, my friend showed it to him. The man was silent for a long time afterwards and finally said:"Resembles the truth."
Ivan Lalic Classic Russian cinema is THE ARTSIEST one in the world. It is built on basic graphic elements and a powerfull symbollic of the simple and direct script. On the other side, the Russian war movies of the past were quite often drowned in pathetic and overemphasized patriotism, which lead to a significant diminishing of their art qualities. All of this can not be said for the one of the most powerful and most painful to watch war stories of all time, "Come and see". Elem Klimov filmed a merciless and never ending torment for the average viewer, bombarding him from the very start with unbearably intense editing of every imaginable war horror from the deepest levels of hell. Although basically empty in the script line, "Come and see" will extinguish your soul and blow you away with one of the most powerful endings in the history of war cinema. "Come and see" is one those movies you will watch only once, but will never forget.
denis888 Filmed by Elem KLimov in 1985, Come And See remains of The most brutally honest, chilling, deeply disturbing, awfully realistic war epics depicting the massacre of Belarus village by Nazi soldiers, along with all the civilians in a barn. What makes it even more brutal and shocking is that fact that the whole film is shown as if throught the eyes of a young boy Flyora, a partisan, who witnesses unbearable wanton brutality, survives and becomes deeply traumatized by this. This is a very timeless film which sends one message - War is all evil, it is never fun or funride. It is woe, weeping, wildness and blood.
