Idris Elba deserves the best supporting actor award for this movie.

Started watching this thinking, I think I know what it might be like in that part of Africa. I have seen the news reports and have read some things. I have even talked at length with friends who have made there way here to the US from there. I found out soon I had no clue how it is to survive in that part of the world, this movie is amazing. I felt like i was a witness to this young boys journey in this film. Shocking, Stunning and lost track of time in it. I can't remember one time when I thought a person was acting. Well done. I hope the Actors and Director gets recognized.

The lines and dialogues are so powerful, especially in the scenes when Agu (Abraham Attah) reflects on the brutality of the war as a kid. It is most disturbingly heart-breaking when he compares dead bodies under the sun to a scent of "burnt mango". The process of normalizing violence among the African child soldiers can't be captured more grimly without Idris Elba's impressive performance as the warlord The Commandant. The only little thing the movie seems to lack is on Agu's bonding with Striker, but other than that this movie delivers the life of African child soldier astonishingly.

Fantastic cinematography & sound, good acting and interesting characters. The problem is that the film tries to present itself as this raw emotional experience, which it kind of is (it’s very bleak), but then it simultaneously makes some cheap, commercial decisions. For example, its use of narration is completely unnecessary, the story is too predictable and tropey, its use of the English language makes little sense (and if you’re gonna go there, just let everyone speak English from the very beginning?), etc.. It certainly makes enough smart decisions to make this an easy recommendation, and there are moments that’ll stick with me for a longer period of time, but this could’ve been one of the best of the year if it made some better creative decisions.

7/10

An under-rated movie. We need more stories from Africa with this much depth.

This was an incredibly hard movie to watch. Idris played a real monster in this movie. Was quite uncomfortable for me.

Found it boring, couldn't get into it, turned it off after half an hour.
