The Chernobyl disaster, during and 10 years after the event, told as a human-drama movie.
The "during" part is interesting though not entirely compelling - you don't see any of the attempts to combat the disaster and hardly see the reactor. Interesting because you see the effect on the general population.
The "10 years after" part is dull. The characters are uninteresting and the plot goes nowhere.
Overall, doesn't really work - it would have been better if this was a straightforward documentary, rather than an attempted drama.

Land of Oblivion
Land of Oblivion is educational through its character's livelihoods, offering nothing in terms of plot or entertainment.
Sombre, bleak and dull. I understand why it's done as a drama instead of a documentary, but the run-time's too long for what it has to offer as a film.

Decent Drama
This is a decent drama revolving around a woman whose life is totally upended on her wedding day, which happens to be the day of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and meltdown. Some very good acting.
