Best film I've ever watched! 100/10

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2016)

Thank you to the film-makers of Incendies for making such a moving and beautiful film.
I cannot rate this film high enough. In terms of a film, it scores 10/10 on every scale that a film can be rated on. Plot, interest, link to reality, beautiful cinematography without being artsy. If you do not like this film, then I imagine you simply just do not like films. People criticising it on IMDb were probably looking for a history documentary or TV drama.
It is captivating from the start. And it really holds your interest right up till the credits show at the end.
I read the summary of the film and I wasn't expecting much. A history quest in Middle East isn't a film I would go for, but that is totally the wrong description of this film. This film is about who you are and your history which starts from your parents and what we think we know and what is actual. In its essence, it is about a mother striving.
Someone wrote that it's not a feel-good movie, but I disagree. It is a movie that jolts you back to reality and makes you count your blessings. But it doesn't shy away from the gruesome callousness of the world. It is a needed film because there is so much war in the world, especially in the Middle East, but the film doesn't try to patronise or teach us about war. The film is about a mother and her love.
It is not a film to watch with your family and maybe not for the faint-hearted either. But it is a film if you want a true look at the different forms reality can take in this world.
