"An examination of the slaughter of thousands of Polish officers and citizens in the Katyn forest in 1940. Having lost his own father in the event which the film recounts, with experienced direction Wajda once again unearths an obscure moment in Poland's troubled history with this powerful depiction of the wartime tragedy. Rather than being a film about individual characters, Katyn works better as a solemn moment of cinematic commemoration, which is why the final sequence is so intense."
