5.9/10
Фильм снят по повести Сергея Говорухина "Никто, кроме нас". Эта картина не столько о самой войне, сколько о взаимоотношениях кинооператора Евгения Левашова и Наташи - женщины, которую он искал всю жизнь, и нашел за несколько недель до своей очередной командировки на войну. И хотя он может отказаться от этой поездки, он этого не делает - потому что любовь и нравственный выбор неразрывно связаны между собой…
