    Pitiless, bleak and despairing -- The Grey Zone refers to a world where everyone is covered with the gray ash of the dead, and it has been like that for so long they do not even notice anymore.

    Extremely difficult but worthy film.
  3. 60
    Jagged, unrelenting, claustrophobically intimate.
  4. With all its flaws, though, The Grey Zone deserves to be respected, and to be seen.
