A soul-wrenching experience!

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2012)

The Flowers of War is like a thief in the night; it sneaks up on you. The first half of this drama seems like many other war stories you've seen. People struggling to survive in a seemingly impossible situation. Then something changes, and you are truly amazed by the transformation! This is the story of how ordinary, selfish, bickering people are suddenly motivated to do extraordinary acts of unselfish devotion, and it is emotionally shattering to behold. I could no longer control my emotions once the reality of the situation was revealed. Don't be fooled; this film is much, much better than a 7.5! It goes in my top 10 of all time! A masterpiece of sacrificial grace! Don't miss it!
