This film is a little gem especially if you are someone that has traveled overseas and seen the madness and sadness of war and want to see a unique different perspective on how to view the human story.
The directing and writing is done in a manner that makes you really get deep into the characters and it had surprises that were eloquently done. It is not a commercial piece or a fast moving hollywood story but as an indy lover it was a breath of fresh air. The acting by all characters were superbly done and Hugo Weaving and Andrew Luri are exceptional. I can only imagine what it is like for a war massacre survivor to experience life after such a tragic event but to then have to confront it through a war photographers eyes makes us realize how personal these events are to those that suffer on both ends of the spectrum.
A real gem of a film. A solid 8 and hope it wins some more Awards.
