Excellent film, absorbing, emotional, gripping

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2005)

Went to see this film last night. What a shame it wasn't released earlier in the UK! It is the best film I've seen so far this year. It was so well made as a film and in the way it told the story of the dreadful events in Rwanda 11 years ago. I was enthralled by the events and desperately wanted to know what happened to all the people in it. The film managed to portray the dilemmas and agonising decisions faced by the people involved with sympathy and understanding. The build up to the what happened was handled very well & there was a real feeling of underlying tension and menace. This film should have won the Oscars! Superb performance from all the cast especially Don Cheadle.
