I was very moved during this film. How historically accurate is a moot point. As a movie it was very realistic & obviously quite a lot of money was spent on it. This is reflected in the costumes & battle scenes. I thought it was an excellent movie & one that gave the centre stage to women at war as participating hero's rather than just background support for the male 'hero's'. It bears re-watching & makes me want to read up on the history of these ladies. The actresses themselves were fantastic & very believable. The story really engaged me. The fact that I was unfamiliar with any of the cast did not take away form the movie itself actually it added to it as one didn't know who would survive & who wouldn't. Oddly enough though I don't speak Russian the subtitles were excellent & makes the experience of watching it even more believable. Though it's sad & upsetting in places it bears re-watching. Recommended!
