7/10
unembellished, unvarnished
13 February 2020
This film which tells the story of the Rwanda genocide, seems to be widely recognized as an accurate rendition, which one would expect considering it is based on a book written by the primary western witness to the events, who also apparently saw to it that the film faithfully adhered to the story.

Stylistically, it kind of treads a middle ground between documentary and drama, ending up not as dry as a pure documentary, but not as emotional as a typical drama, especially considering how intensely emotional the events are which it is describing.

The acting is good, especially the central figure, the Canadian general.
