As a Ukrainian who went and saw this with their grandparent who as a child suffered through the Holodomor, this movie was so personally offensive. When I heard a movie was being made about this genocidal event, I was cautious, the outcome could either be excellent or terrible. And at my grandmother's insistence, we saw it. The end of the movie I asked her what she thought; she cried. She cried, saying her country, the culture, the language, was butchered in ways she wished she hadn't seen. And I couldn't agree more, from frankly laughable dialogue to comical pronunciation of Ukrainian words by British actors, all in all I completely agree that on such an intense and deeply serious issue, this film should NOT have been created.
