A solid directional debut by Angelina Jolie, well worth seeing!

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2012)

I was skeptical about Jolie in the director's chair, but actually I think this is one of the better movies I have seen in a while. It is a difficult movie to watch, and it doesn't help that the cast is foreign, movie is not in English and reviews are misleading because there are so many negative reviews coming from Serbians (they really need to come to terms with crimes their countrymen did and cool off).
This was a very ambitious debut for Jolie and I really think she pulled it off well above any expectations. The movie is powerful, emotional human drama with some great war action scenes. It also has some educational and documentary value, and I am really glad that it is being shown in the Holocaust Memorial Museum as well - it really deserves to be there and I think everyone needs to see it.
