Heart-wrenching, Inspiring, and Enlightening

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

I just got back from seeing Hotel Rwanda and in attempting to write a review, I find that all my words are lacking and are inadequate as well. I cannot fully describe the extent into which I was drawn into and moved by this film.
I cried and laughed and rejoiced-the full gamut of emotions. Don Cheadle should have won the Oscar for this performance. I do not care what the Academy voters think-HE deserved it for his performance of a man, simply trying to keep not only his family, but innocent people from harm.
The woman who played his wife, (sorry, I cannot remember her name) was just as excellent as Cheadle. I also commend the thousands of extras who composed this film-especially the children.
Heart-wrenching, inspiring, enlightening, everyone should see this film. You will not regret it.
