Greatness. A must see.

Just finished watching. Man I don't know. It was a tough viewing. Very well done but I just come away feeling bleak and wounded.

I understand what you mean. I was laughing at the start, but my feelings soon turned to pity, disgust, anger and sadness.

my mini review on rotten tomatoes: 4/5 stars

 

Beasts of no nation is a well thought out roller-coaster by writer-director Cary Fukunga that falters not in its execution. It puts you right in the shoes of a child soldier. The talented cast is able to draw you into the film, hand you a gun and have you fight for them across the jungles of West Africa. Savage violence juxtaposed with your whimsical comrades insulate this film from becoming an overbearing Saving Private Ryan in Africa sob fest. There will be sobs, just not in the places you would expect.
