Critics' reviews

"Despite its context in a global conflict, Uprising is a strangely intimate film."

Diana Clarke: Village Voice
"The flaws don’t detract from the film’s casual and calamitous sights."

Nicolas Rapold: The New York Times
"'Warsaw Uprising' is not only a unique, remarkably assembled documentary-narrative hybrid but also a powerful look at the personal and public devastation that can occur during wartime"

Gary Goldstein: Los Angeles Times
