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. Movies rarely feel as authentic as this.

Warsaw Uprising is marred by a fictional audio drama among three characters (two cameraman brothers and an American airman) who provide an unnecessary, distracting and at times amateurish frame to this resourcefully, even wittily, edited tour. But the flaws don’t detract from the film’s casual and calamitous sights.

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

Excellent! Simply the best historic "movie" that I've ever seen, because this work has been entirely made from real life documentary materials which were recolored for the most part with few exceptions, so there's not a mentality barrier which tells you "This happened in another era" but makes it believable that it's just 2-3 generations back. Everything you see are real people and real stories and the movie focuses on 2 polish brothers who were filming the warsaw uprising to gather evidence about what happens rather than fighting as soldiers of the Polish Home Army. It stays interesting and touching mostly and is as propaganda free as something can get. A recommendation for everyone who is interested in the events of WW2.
