The most captivating and breath taking film of the year!

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2015)

Beasts of no Nation caught my full attention after seeing its intense and captivating subject matter. Fukunagas third feature film tops all of his previous work by a long- shot. Cinematography was vibrantly colorful with all around great camera direction, many shots in this film were jaw-dropping with a few brilliant long takes. Performances by Idris Elba and Abraham Attah were no doubt Oscar worthy, Attah has given the best child performance I HAVE EVER SEEN without a doubt the best of the year. The score blew me away with its dream like but also sometimes intense sound, Dan Romer goes outside the sonic box and boy does he give this film the score it needs. The story focuses on a subject matter often forgotten by the world, this film shows the brutal reality of the world and how currently nothing is being done. Of course this film gets much deeper and philosophical but ambiguity is key in all great film making so watch this film! A story that will leave tears in your eyes but make you think deeper than you have this year.
