Critic Reviews of "Defiance"
At the MoviesJanuary 20, 2009I felt like these characters were prototypes and not people.
Christian Science MonitorJanuary 16, 2009As a piece of historical redress, a great service has been done in bringing this narrative to the screen.
Toronto StarJanuary 16, 2009It's understandable and laudable that they desire not to sensationalize the Bielskis, and they've made a worthy film. But their understated approach makes the struggle seem less urgent than it must surely have been.
Seattle TimesJanuary 16, 2009Ultimately, the film celebrates and memorializes the survival of something unthinkable, and a group of people for whom defiance meant, at heart, that they would push against the growing darkness and carry on.
San Francisco ChronicleJanuary 16, 2009It's difficult, perhaps impossible, to make a gripping 137-minute epic about people standing around under the trees.
DeadspinJune 22, 2013Zwick wants to tell timeless stories on a grand scale. I know that's not what people want anymore. I know it's not breathtaking. But it's not something many are doing now, and definitely not doing it this well.
East Bay ExpressAugust 16, 2011Zwick does not deal in gratuitous grotesquery or far-fetched metaphor. "Operatic" and "surreal" are not in his vocabulary.
ComingSoon.netMarch 18, 2011For all its pomp and ruminating, Defiance isn't really interested in drama. It really just wants to entertain us. But it's not any better at that.
IGN DVDOctober 20, 2010Defiance is heavy-handed, but emotionally compelling, engaging and inspiring throughout.
7M PicturesJanuary 10, 2010Director Edward Zwick does a fine job presenting the challenges of reality without falling into nostalgia or easy Hollywood heroes.
