Rating Guide
This venue features a casual selection of shows and industry names that residents considered rating. Being listed is not a recommendation in itself. Shows and names that advance the cabbalist or another underhanded agenda are not usually considered. With exceptions, these include most of the larger productions and promoted names, especially from the US and from recent decades, which Raye-Shows recommends avoiding or, at least, not financing.
The maximum rating score is 10 and the minimum is -5, as the rating (upper bar) and the rating (mid bar) range from 0 to 5, and the rating (lower bar) ranges from Yes (blank) to -5.
❮
The "" rating may reflect the absence (blank rating) or presence (negative rating) of an agenda for misrepresenting current or historical reality, for culture or science appropriation, for nation-undermining, miscegenation and race-denying, feminism, egalitarianism, religious submission, tribalism and self-entitlement, and for other subversive aspects of that sort, whether intentional or perpetuated. The rating does not reflect intellectual debates or activism that are transparent and honest (factual or statedly hypothetical), and neither the veracity of technological or comic depictions in fictional work, unless such aspects are exaggerated beyond the limit of maintaining viewing interest.

If you're someone with a good grasp of what happened there, you would probably feel that the entertainment (action) rating should be higher, given that the reality of the depicted events was even more gruesome. In an idyllic village of the "Volga" Germans, the movie opens with a villager returning from faraway travels, severely alienated by what he's seen out there: quota-executions of people by machine gun, racial mixing, mayhem and bestiality. The villagers believe he's hallucinating, until the bolsheviks descend upon their place, too. The local tragedy - a dichotomy between hardwork and honesty on one hand, and menace and parasitism on the other hand - feels like an eerie harbinger of what ensued in the world since then.

Reviews
In a town in the formerly German land which came under Polish rule after WW1, the locals face the tectonic change of ethnic suppression. The crescendo of the situation includes some chilling mob action engulfing the main characters and only goes more harrowing from there on. Knowing that this was a historically documented reality may send shivers down your back (depending on how much censored history you know or ready to acknowledge). Entwined with personal drama and well acted, the movie is a difficult but compelling watch.
