🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Anti-war cinema in the form of war cinema — a paradox that only works when the filmmakers understand the subject. They do here.

Uneven — there are sags in the middle. But the key scenes are so strong it's forgiven.

For those ready for a heavy experience and seeking an honest view of war. No entertainment here — there's meaning.

Director: Louise Archambault

Best Watched

Best Watched: An evening when there's room for difficult thoughts. Alone or with someone comfortable with silence after.
