Barging in


Battle of Leningrad (2019)

Directed by Alexey Kozlov this film inspired by real events stars Maria Melnikova and Andrey Mironov-Udalov. On the eve of the siege of Leningrad a girl runs off with a soldier.

Covering two days of a nearly nine hundred day siege this film offers a small window into those trying to escape the city. The plot is no great shakes and the characters not especially deep. A decent little diversion but there is not a lot that sticks with you from this film.

3/5
