When Russia Comes: Fear and Loyalty in a Ukrainian Town is a gripping documentary that dives deep into the scars of war in Kupyansk. This film captures not just the physical destruction but the haunting psychological aftermath. It’s raw, unfiltered, and sometimes uncomfortable, as it presents residents grappling with their own roles during the occupation. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with the heavy themes of guilt, complicity, and survival. There's a distinct lack of flashy effects; instead, it relies on the power of firsthand testimonies and striking visuals of the town’s ruins. The emotional weight of the performances draws you in, making it a thought-provoking piece about resilience and moral dilemmas in times of conflict.
