Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Manohla DargisThe film has the feel of a gift. Particularly noteworthy are Mr. Haroun's eloquent silences, visual and aural.
Time Out - 7/10 by Joshua LandAn intimate parable of truth and reconciliation.
Reeling Reviews - 6/10 by Laura Clifford...a beautifully characterized reflection on revenge and forgiveness that is both reminiscent of and an inverse of the Dardennes brothers' 2002 The Son.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 6/10 by Sean AxmakerMahamat-Saleh Haroun directs with a striking simplicity that gives the volcanic emotions space to simmer and surge...

User Review - 10/10 by Maggie Fextraordinarily taut narrative will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering how it will turn out.
User Review - 10/10 by Mahmoud Svery interesting and unexpected end ... the conversations is it's key ...
User Review - 8/10 by Hong HThis movie uses sparse dialogue. The focus is mainly on facial expressions and actions. The movie appeals to me particularly because I often drown out dialogue. So maybe if you're the type of person whose focus is driven by dialogue, or whose personal narrative structure requires dialogue to deliver that kind of immediacy, the film will be different, perhaps challenging and refreshing at the same time. Anyhow, this movie, though based specifically for this character during a civil war period in Chad, is an emotional, somewhat suspenseful movie. It is accessible universally despite its specific and real type of scenario. Good movie. Watch it. Also, the "non-actors" are impressive, giving the movie a very real feeling.
User Review - 8/10 by Nadeem MMuch more slow-paced than I was expecting, but once I got past that, I really enjoyed this. I found myself sympathising with both of the main characters, even though one of them had committed atrocities in the war, which added a very human element to the film.
