Jirga

This beautiful film captures elements of Islam, of ill conceived war, of humanity. Thank you brave filmakers and actors.

Great meditation on repentance and forgiveness of an Aussie ex soldier. I loved seeing the landscapes of Afghanistan and it's people in this gentle and nuanced film. A film about peace and connection with a good dose of suspense and little moments of humour for good measure

I loved it through and through because it touched upon so many basic human connections. I was in Afghanistan in 2008 and 2014 and I can see how much effort and work was put into making a good movie. It also made me nostalgic for the Afghan mountains, their music and the many kind people I met there. Jirga is a must see.

Former Aussie soldier Mike Wheeler (Sam Smith) is returning to Afghanistan after a 3 year absence. His goal is to achieve forgiveness from the family of a man he killed there in a raid.

Lots of realism and humanness emanates from this movie, although from time to time a few of the plot elements come across as implausible. The naturalness of the acting is impressive, and the cinematography is striking.

Overall for me, it was a journey worth taking.

A very well done movie because you didn't really know what was going to happen to him.

Clearly forgiveness and understanding is much better than war.

For the person who reviewed this film suggesting it was the most boring film of the year, stick to Fast and Furious. I think Fast and Furious 23 comes out soon.-
