Though provoking film that doesn't pull any punches.

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2012)

If I had read any of the reviews for this film it would have put me off watching it so I'm glad that I never. Watch this film and forget about politics,forget about religious or sectarian divide,see this film for what it is trying to convey, human emotions and how people are affected by war and the atrocities that invariably come with it. The conflict depicted in the film could be taking place in many countries throughout the world today but little is done soon enough to stop or hinder the perpetrators from carrying out such inhumane deeds. The film is not without it's faults but as a directorial début it was delivered cleverly and yet in some ways quite naively. Hats off to Miss Jolie for taking on such a subject as this and delivering a thought provoking and hard hitting piece of cinema. I for one thoroughly enjoyed this film and look forward to the director's future projects.
