Disappointed in this film. It started off well and gave a glimpse of the stark harshness of the landscape and the lack of any comfort. It descended into a long drawn out saga and the most interesting thing in it were the lambs. I don't know if what genre it would fall into as it is one of those films that is all about nothing really. At the end I thought Why on earth did I watch this".. guess I was hoping for something to happen - it doesn't!!
In this well-intentioned French Afghan War (2014) film we follow a squad of troops as they go about their mission. Some critics found it haunting, but most viewers will find it hard to care. Its score-free, documentary-style approach renders it deliberately undramatic and lifeless. Unless you have utmost patience, it will lose you long before a plot sets in.
