Árvores da Paz

There are films so impactful that they change your perspective, and this is one of those films. How the story is presented and filmed is unique, rarely done, and this was executed perfectly. The cast had amazing chemistry and connected well together. Highly recommended!

Hiding in tight spots is ... exaggerating to say the least. Also if you are thinking about watching this be aware that you should not have issues with tight little spaces. If you have claustrophobia - maybe it isn't the best idea to watch the movie.

Now if you have no issues that I mentioned above, you should also be aware that the pace is quite slow. But the drama is as high as it can get. And all based on a real story apparently. This is gripping, this is as suspensful as a movie can get ... on the edge of your seat stuff. Are you ready for this? Also there is of course a social message here too ... really good movie.

I feel this film could have been great if it just gave the viewer a little more than we got, the dialogue for this film was really great and the cinematography really makes the viewer feel like they are trapped inside the room with them. The story is where I find the biggest flaw, we get some okay character development but thats where it ends. The film closes out with nothing at the end, just cut off, and in a movie like this where character and dialogue is key we only got one half of the pie. We spend 90% of the film learning about the characters for nothing. Decent film tho.

Love love LOVED this film. Kept me on the edge of my seat. This is not the kind of film to watch if you're looking for something lighthearted. I love drama and deep movies that are also educational, so this was a perfect pick. I had no idea about the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda so additionally this was very eye opening for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for an emotional dramatic film!

This movie tells the stories of 4 women in a extraordinary situation, against the backdrop of a the Rwanda genocide. The film speaks to the heart of women and brings their struggles into focus.

More important than that, it amplifies the voices of the unseen in Rwanda. It sheds light on the horrors they faced, and it invites the viewer to feel their pain, hope their hopes, and dream their dreams. It's truly a beautiful film.
