It's difficult, perhaps impossible, to make a gripping 137-minute epic about people standing around under the trees.

I felt like these characters were prototypes and not people.

For 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.

It'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.

Defiance is heavy-handed, but emotionally compelling, engaging and inspiring throughout.

Zwick 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.

Director Edward Zwick does a fine job presenting the challenges of reality without falling into nostalgia or easy Hollywood heroes.

succumbing to Hollywood cliches at the expense of historical truth
August 16, 2011
Zwick does not deal in gratuitous grotesquery or far-fetched metaphor. "Operatic" and "surreal" are not in his vocabulary.

As a piece of historical redress, a great service has been done in bringing this narrative to the screen.
