zzzorf The opening scenes of his movie had me on the edge of my seat, it was a really powerful image and I thought if the movie continues like this I'm in for a hell of a ride. The first scene is misleading.That however did not make a bad movie, just a different one then I thought I was watching. While labelled as a war movie (well at least on IMDb anyway) this is far from one, but more instead a look at just how the life of these type of photographers can take on the life of their families. I real thought provoking watch.

rogerdarlington This is a truly European production with a genuinely global agenda. A Norway-Sweden- Ireland co-production, it was shot in Ireland, Afghanistan, Kenya and Morocco and both the director Erik Poppe and writer Harald Rosenløw Eeg are Norwegian (the story is inspired by Poppe's personal experiences as a war photographer). War photographer Rebecca (the French Juliette Binoche) is married to marine biologist Marcus (the Danish Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) and they live in Ireland with their two daughters, but Rebecca is constantly drawn to conflict zones where she take incredible risks to obtain dramatic photographs. The film explores what such a situation does to the family left at home and what drives someone to risk all that is dear to them. The largely wordless opening sequence presages a slow work, but a compelling one, and as always Binoche gives a mesmerising performance.

randall-3-562343 This film deals with numerous mature themes, and handles them in an incredibly well-crafted way:> how families and children in the US are so sheltered and distanced from life around the world; > how our American dream is the target of extremists who want to blow it up; > how families can be torn apart by jobs and responsibilities that take them in different directions; > how committed the people who commit acts of violence are - we really don't have our minds wrapped around their mindsets;> how spouses support one another's work responsibilities, or not.Maybe if there's a flaw it has to do with the many theme plots it contains, but in the end I would see it again. And if you will return to see a film twice, then it had to have something of value.It you want to be entertained, this is not your film of choice. If you want to be engaged in thought-provoking subject matter, go.

sas2014 Being a Juliette Binoche s biggest fan from early days of my life is no news. However she still keeps surprising me. I was in the movie from the Start, from being a mother and having to choose ones career or the Family totally felt it. Then feeling the loneliest person on earth Surrounded with people who you love, unappreciated and somehow Misunderstood, also something close to my heart. The story line is very strong and not unrealistic. In fact one can feel why she is burning with desire to "Grab and chock people from their morning newspaper). Hours after finishing the film, still sitting analysing it in my head, well that is one hell of a good movie to me!
