This searing film bears a terrible witness to this great crime.
There is no comfort when watching 20 Days in Mariupol, but it's the bitter pill we must all swallow to remind ourselves of what people are going through every day in Ukraine. Chernov's account is but a snippet of the war and should galvanize people into action.

Мариуполь как же жалко я там был там просто все плохо было война война и еще
Report
Provides a remarkable snapshot of the war crimes that—as the daily news reminds us—are still being perpetrated today
20 Days in Mariupol gives you a sense of life during wartime that isn’t an abstraction, some distant thing happening to people thousands of miles away. The intimate feeling of what it’s like to have your country invaded, your living spaces demolished, and your closest family members killed before your eyes is palpable, and also gut-wrenching.
Ultimately, Chernov’s film is a compelling record of senseless destruction and death, and a salute to the enduring resilience of a people who refuse to surrender their home.
At its core, 20 Days in Mariupol is a testament to the citizens of Mariupol.
What we can do, like these journalists, is bear witness to the pain in the hope that it transforms into an urgent, rallying cry, and address our universal capacity to connect with the pain and suffering of others.
It is very difficult to watch the film because it is a tragedy filmed during its most painful part!!
If there are films that show war realistically, this is one of them. It was physically difficult for me to watch it, knowing what it was all about. I highly recommend this film to other people, so that people can better understand the meaning of the tragedy of the people who fell under the pressure of the nаzi Russian state. The film makes it clear why we all need to stand up to evil, otherwise we will feel the same way as the unfortunate people from Mariupol.
I also want to add that I am glad that Mr. Chernov spoke and gave his message to a large audience, maybe it will also influence people and they will be more determined to help the affected people.

A film about war in Europe in the 21st century. It’s simply inconceivable how among representatives of humanity there are individuals and leaders who still consider it acceptable to solve their political issues as **** solved them. People must look and understand what war is.
Report
The first thing that catches your eye is that this is not a documentary, but rather an author's film of the documentary genre. And it's hard to call it a «movie». Rather, it looks like a first-person military chronicle.There is no disclosure of the tragic event for the viewer. Episodes of people's grief are shown separately. The character of those on whose shoulders a difficult time has fallen is poorly revealed. Only one medic reveals his soul to the operator and calls a spade a spade.There are no meetings with civilian survivors of the fighting after the events, as is often the case in documentaries about the war.Attempts to show the war on the other side, even without interviewing the military, but at least civilians - **** topic of revealing propaganda lies is very weak, with the exception of the event in the maternity hospital and the reaction of the Russian Federation media.There is no war crime theme at all. So what is shown is not supported by witness evidence and direct filming at the scene, which leaves the viewer in the dark and gives a huge scope for imagining possible **** the end of such films, the author usually either shares his own opinion, or leaves «food for thought» to the audience themselves. Unfortunately, there is neither the first nor the second in this picture. The only conclusion that comes from watching is that «war is bad». But for a documentary that won an Oscar, it's too weak. Because even without watching any movie or unread any book, any normal person understands that any war is bad.
