Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Often heartwrenching reminder of a past war in the war torn country of Afghanistan. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Ron Wilkinson It's Just Movies In one of the best war movies made, the dust, dirt, chaos and betrayal fly from the screen. Rated: 9/10 Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT Much of the story seems ripped from today's headlines. The story actually takes place at the tail end of the 1980s. Accurate depiction of the chaos of war. Aug 15, 2021 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today Lungin works in an elliptical manner, often jumping ahead to new scenes without bothering to fill in narrative gaps. It's a refreshing approach, but also ... a confusing one. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
