Our take
Veteran Polish master Agnieszka Holland is known for her piercing excavations of European history’s dark chapters. In Mr. Jones, she sheds light on the atrocities of Stalinist Russia through a gripping real-life story of journalistic courage, where uncovering the truth can be a dangerous battle.
