Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The storytelling in Incendies strikes me as primal the way Greek tragedy is primal. Shattering. Cathartic. It is a breathtaking film.
Fresh: "Incendies" is no mere riff on a Greek mainstay. It is its own entity, delicate and fierce.
Fresh: A mystery, a melodrama, a prison film, and a love story, "Incendies'' is foremost a scream of rage at a society destroyed by religion and by men.
Fresh: It is no surprise that it was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
