Deeply Moving Film

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2005)

Hotel Rwanda depicts the Rwandan Massacre of 1994. This film accurately shows us the inhumanity of this event in world history. The performances are to be praised. Don Cheadle and Sophie Okonedo are breathtaking, their performances engage us in the film.
The most important thing about this movie is the awareness that it creates in those who watch it and who did not know about the crisis in Rwanda. It opens up with the line, " For your consideration", because that is what the director is trying to do; inform us about this terrible event. I was too young at the time of this injustice, and watching this movie has made me realize how cruel this world can be. This film should be remembered as a triumph.
It's such a compelling story and I agree with some of the other reviewers in that it seemed like a documentary due to the realism of the film. Hotel Rwanda is a deeply moving film and I saw myself shedding some tears during the movie and at the end. Over-all this film is a masterpiece and a must see. 10/10 Stars
