Review of Beasts of No Nation (2015) by Vega8Ond — 24 May 2022
A very powerful film about the political instability/intrigue that goes on in many developing countries in Africa. The first 20 minutes or so of the film kinda meanders as it sets up some of the character development.
After which, you go down this rabbit hole, following a young child as he is forced to make decisions someone of that age just isn't capable of making. The acting is suburb all the way around, the cinematography is excellent and the story stays on point.
Not very many flaws in this movie. I did have a hard time following who exactly was this group really working for in the end, however, you got the feeling that everyone was just using them for their own just ends.
Overall, this is a great movie, and would recommend it to anyone that likes a movie to be enlightened and not just entertained. This is definitely a movie that fell through the cracks and should have garnered more attention than it got.
