Audience Member Praise God! Our true Father prevails all evil on Earth! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review spencer p Its calm approach to the horrors of the reality make this a more accessible introduction to those first learning of it, and through its non-linear vignettes, some of which are overly dialogue-driven, a powerful connection of humanity blossoms. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member During the 1994 genocide, the Mulfi of Rwanda issued a fatwa that forbid muslims from killing Tutsi.Mosques became a place of refuge for Christians, Tutsi, Hutus and Muslims came together to protect each other. The movie is based on survivor stories. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review walter m You can't hate a movie like "Kinyarwanda" that is so well-meaning and hopeful about the future of Rwanda. However, I really can't like a movie like this, either, that does not credibly reflect the complicated reality on the ground, instead just wishing that there will be a 'unified peace,' as one character puts it, and it will magically happen. And while I do want to believe in the best of humanity, it is hard to believe in it happening so often during one of the planet's worst moments. Just as there are brutal killings depicted here, even more often are there warm scenes of people doing the right thing, including one huge bluff to save a group of people about to be killed. And then there is the decision to go for a complicated structure of interrelated stories which is hard enough to pull off under optimal circumstances which this is not, with the best sequence being the Reeducation Camp. The best option would have been to tell a story of the Rwandan genocide through the point of view of one character, like say Jeanne(Hadidja Zaninka), whose parents are killed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not exactly what the typical movie-goer is used to, this is nonetheless a brutally honest, unforgettable film about the horrors and compassion during mass genocide. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot was confusing as it jumped around. I wish they were real stories not based on real ones.
