I like it

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2012)

I like it as a woman. I have new found respect for Jolie for having the gut to tackle this subject while most people refuse to learn about this war or finding it too hard to stomach. I also enjoy its artistic presentation. It is not perfect but the movie is beautifully filmed and the acting is great. Kudo for Jolie taking the effort to make the film in 2 different language versions.
I watch a lot of foreign films and I find the Bosnian version of the film with English subtitle easily comprehensible. I wish the character development is more extensive and the plot is more convincing but overall I like the film none the less because of its bold style and impressionable result. The movie provokes me to think about the roles of wars, religions, and human nature in our history. The box office is only 300k while the budget for the film is 13 million. I wonder if there is a conspiracy to block it from greater theatrical release.
