One Room With A View

Broad in scope but also deeply personal, Ambulance is a stunning piece of journalism and a harrowing account of the immense (and sometimes irreparable) damage war can inflict on a civilian population.

Rated: 5/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

So many of the individuals remain nameless and faceless and that in itself speaks volume about war and suffering - we cannot know everyone's names but in this film Jabaly starts a conversation where we start to question the meaning of it all.

What [Jabaly] shot vividly conveys the anger, grief and resilience of people trapped in a situation over which they have no control -- and the dedication (and humour) of the ambulance crew.

Rated: 4/5

The soundtrack fills with wailing, either that of sirens or of the bereaved; the wounds -- sensitive viewers be warned -- are observed at close-quarters; the language is no less vivid.
