COME AND SEE is a film that stares you in the eye and begs you not to look the other way.
Many are referring to the story of a young boy joining resistance fighters in Belarus against the Nazis as the most horrifying or terrifying film of all time, and I believe these sensational claims may be a disservice to the film.
