Entertainment Weekly, 02/27/2009, "Wajda musters the power of classical filmmaking and personal emotional investment to dramatize a stunning atrocity long covered up..." -- Grade: A- Box Office, 02/18/2009, 3 stars out of 5 -- "The narrative, in the form of a docu-drama, is all the more gripping because of the restraint Wajda demonstrates."

After Germany's invasion of Poland, Joseph Stalin ordered the liquidation of the Polish officer corps, slaughtering nearly 22,000 men in Katyn Forest. Based on this horrific, historical event, Katyn tells the story of four fictional officers and their families as they struggle to uncover the truth. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and directed by Academy Award Winner Andrzej Wajda. Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesWith KATYN, celebrated Polish director Andrzej Wajda delivers a sweeping drama that exposes an oft-overlooked moment in WWII history. After the Nazis stormed into Poland, Stalin ordered Russian soldiers into the country as well, in order to oversee the imprisonment of all Polish officers. As these prisoners fearfully struggled to make sense of what was happening to them, the women in their lives--wives, siblings, mothers, daughters--anxiously awaited their return. Though mystery shrouded the events that were to unfold, these women eventually learned the bitter truth. Sadly, they were ordered to remain silent due to post-war Poland’s dependence on Russia.
