Film Review – War Witch

“War Witch” isn’t a message-minded film looking to expose the horrors of
the world in a coldly academic manner. It’s a character piece with a
loosely defined narrative, with an unusual sense of stillness to depict
matters of tremendous horror. Writer/director Kim Nguyen constructs a
harrowing portrait of innocence lost with minimal hysteria, finding a
richer sense of experience by restraining graphic violence and contrived
characterization. Infused with Terrence Malick spices, “War Witch” aims
for ambiance as a way to approach its searing images of war, keeping
the viewer unnerved instead of outraged when inspecting the troubles of
Africa. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
