I enjoyed the journey of young Pavlichenko from when she leaves home, to joining the military, to being discovered she had a “knack” for shooting a rifle. To be honest with you, despite the fact that the majority of the film is subtitled, I enjoyed watching it.

The film is directed by Sergey Mokritskiy and stars Yulia Peresild as Pavlichenko. Over time during her enlistment she became one of the deadliest snipers in World War II. This is a quick review of the foreign film Battle for Sevastopol which is a great 2015 biographical-like (based on a ‘true story’) film about a young Soviet Ukrainian named Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a young lady who joined the Red Army to fight the Nazi invasion of the USSR.
