Wow, just wow!

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2020)

Intense, heart stopping, shocking, traumatising, raw, sad, heartwarming all rolled into one. This film - with a simple storyline - reveals the horrors of war yet pulls you into the characters as if you're there experiencing it with them. I was on the edge of my seat one minute, feeling sad the next, and finished the film reflecting on what it must have been like for those who fought for us to have the freedom we have today. Usually when the credits come on in the cinema, everyone rushes up to leave. Not this film; the whole cinema was silent and still, even while the credits were rolling. I have no other words to describe this emotional rollercoaster, other than to go and see it!
