Come and See - Family Review

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.

    This film showcases the emotional and psychological cost of war. It's shocking, immeasurably cruel, and thoroughly disheartening.

    A pile of corpses are visible behind a house.

    The film has plenty of disturbing imagery which may unsettle sensitive viewers.

    The film portrays in brutal detail the war crimes committed by the Nazi regime in Eastern Europe and the effects they had on the population both physically and mentally. In doing so the film does not hold back as it is often outright devastating and overwhelming to watch, especially toward the end. The film feels real in a way that most films do not and as a result manages to be truly unsettling and horrifying.

    The sheer amount of inhumanity and cruelty the Nazis commit is difficult to watch, to say the least, and is all shown in excruciating amounts of detail.

    Numerous graphic animal deaths, including baby birds, a cow, and a slender loris (similar to a lemur). While not as graphic or disturbing as most of the human deaths, these animals are often killed in brutal ways.

    Entire film is very upsetting including intense scenes of genocide and traumatic, long and torturing deaths including children and animals shown in much detail. Main characters performce is extremely convincing and upsetting.

    One of the most horrifying films ever made.

    Very graphic war violence throughout; many times children are involved.

    Children are hurt by soldiers. (As is said in the violence/gore section)
