Come and See
In 2002, Scott Tobias of "The A.V. Club" wrote that Klimov's "impressions are unforgettable: the screaming cacophony of a bombing run broken up by the faint sound of a Mozart fugue, a dark, arid field suddenly lit up by eerily beautiful orange flares, German troops appearing like ghosts out of the heavy morning fog. A product of the glasnost era, "Come and See" is far from a patriotic memorial of Russia's hard-won victory. Instead, it's a chilling reminder of that victory's terrible costs." British magazine "The Word" wrote that ""Come and See" is widely regarded as the finest war film ever made, though possibly not by "Great Escape" fans." Tim Lott wrote in 2009 that the film "makes "Apocalypse Now" look lightweight".
