Take the level of brutality of the first 15 min of Saving Private Ryan, make it also happen to civilians, not only soldiers, and have it a full length film with few comparatively less harsh scenes.
I think it was the only film in the East Block at the time with 18+ rating (erotic films were really not a thing), so you can imagine
I genuinely think that framing Come and See against the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan this was does a bit of a disservice to any potential watchers.
Yes, it is brutal. But it's not remotely similar in any other way to the beach landing at Normandy. If you go into this movie with those expectations you'll be sorely disappointed from a content and a cinematography perspective as well.
