I'm fairly resistant to posters that urge, 'Prepare to be blown away' ... but I was blown away this morning by this heart-wrenching film and by the young Syrian refugee who plays the lead role. The cinema was packed - there are posters all over London - and it has my vote for a well-deserved Oscar. (Although I've just checked out the competition and have to admit that I've only seen one of the other films in this category.)
Read more about it here and here.
I've not heard of this one, Mary but will check it out. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think you would like it, Veronica. Amazing performances from refugee actors, especially the little boy Zain who couldn't even write his own name.
