Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2007)

Esxcellent film. Very moving and really explained the Rwandan tragedy of which I was completely ignorant. As a westerner, the crisis in Rwanada was largely ignored by the press The film truly showed the goodness that one man can bring during times of complete evil and suffering. Much better than Schindler's list, more real and succinct. The drama was really felt. Some of the other characters could have been developed a little more, but that perhaps would have made for a longer film. In addition a little more historical background may have been more appropriate for foreigners like myself who didn't quite understand the crisis at the beginning of the film. -such an footnote would have be more helpful. Although there was some, more could have been added. I enjoyed this film and highly recommend it. Definitely Oscar material.
