Review of Beasts of No Nation (2015) by Anthony K — 07 Dec 2015

Magic. You would think he only person who could have told his story was someone who lived his life. However the direction, story telling and acting by this young lead is deserving of a nod from the Academy.

So many children of Africa are part of the lost generation and this allows he viewer to see and understand how that story takes place. This movie may find its way into the Criterion collection as it captured a moment in time in a real and artistically compelling way.

The monsters of men portrayed as well as the journey of these children are compelling and should forever stay with us.
