Not for the average American but...

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2012)

It's one twisted tale about one messed up family from one screwed up country, but it a very well told story with fantastic plot twists and lots of realist suspense.
If I were the twins' mother, I don't think I could have put on Jeanne and Simon what their mother Nawal put on her children.
I think I would have left the secrets die with me.
Still, the author of "Incendies" could have taught the ancient Greeks something about tragedy.
But unless you actually prefer real life drama based on real history to the typical American fantasy world of cinema, don't see this film.
And although always not graphic, be prepared to see violence against women, including by other women, as the subtext.
