      Audience Member a world without voice Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Nos muestra la violencia que deja la guerra, una violencia imperceptible pero existente, la soledad. A lo largo de la película se siente la pesadez, el tedio, la desesperanza, y los recuerdos desagradables de la masacre con los que carga el viejo con su nieto condenado a ser igualmente miserable. La película en su conjunto logra transmitir el desencanto hacia la vida que vive Dastiguir. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member En av de aller, aller vakreste filmene jeg har sett! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The only complaints I can really make about this movie were that the little kid was incredibly annoying most of the time (which I think he was supposed to be), and that the ending left me disappointed and unsatisfied (again, might've been intentional, but I expected more of an impact). Otherwise, this is a very fine film. Great performances, atmosphere, slow but effectively paced, and very engaging, with some realistic, likable characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A very moving story: takes you to Afghanistan during the war (still going on by the way) and the destruction of villages and families ... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member thought-provoking it's not just a film--even the main actor has his sad life in the real world Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
