When It Started to Burn is a raw, intimate look at the Ukrainian civilian experience during the ongoing conflict. The film’s tone is a mix of resilience and despair, capturing the unyielding spirit of those affected. The pacing ebbs and flows like the conflict itself—moments of intense action juxtaposed against quieter, reflective sequences where the mental toll surfaces. There's a stark authenticity in the practical effects and real-life testimonies that make the viewer feel the weight of each story. The performances are not polished but rather genuine, portraying a spectrum of emotions that resonate deeply. It stands apart by focusing on the human side of war, rather than just the military aspects, forcing us to reckon with the personal costs of conflict.
