Not exactly Lyudmila's story

Battle for Sveastopol (2015)

Directed by Serhiy Mokrytskyi this film based on the life of Lyudmila Pvalichenko stars Yulia Pereslid, Joan Blackham and Yevgeny Tsyganov. A young woman studying history at university joins the Red army and becomes a sniper during WW2.

I am not sure this is a historically accurate film or especially realistic. It does not have a very mature attitude either and is more of the Micahel Bay school of film making. There are enjoyable moments but a true story such as this deserves a bit better.


2/5
