Ela Bittencourt House Next Door 04/26/2013
Wojciech Smarzowski's film is at times so brutal that its more tender touches can startle. Go to Full Review Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania 11/20/2023
4/5
From a moral point of view Rose is a Western crammed with violence but filmed without complacency. Smarzowski ironically referred to himself as the “third Cohen brother” in a recent interview, and there may be a kernel of truth in this. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/23/2020 Not quite correct movie info: Róża is a widow after Wehrmacht sodier. See more 08/13/2013 depressing as hell but stunning! See more 05/26/2013 A dark and gritty story of a Masurian woman who was left defenseless and prone to multiple rapes and attacks after her German husband-soldier was killed in the WWII. See more 05/15/2013 A harrowing tale of survival centers on Rose, a Masurian woman, whose husband, a German soldier, was killed in the war, leaving her alone on their farm. A single woman had no defense against Russian soldiers who raped as a form of revenge, nor against plundering Poles who found themselves in desperate straits. The law of the jungle had replaced the rule of law. Help arrives for Rose in the form of Tadeusz, a former officer in the Polish Home Army who survived the Warsaw uprising and is attempting to hide his identity.
