Review of Kandahar (2001) by Rubyq — 30 Sep 2005
An important look at an oppressive, war-ravaged nation, but my God the lead character (an Afghan-Canadian woman trying to find her sister) acts like a stupid Westerner blundering around clueless in a third world war zone.
She takes off her burqua at every opportunity and even waves around a tape-recorder in a crowd of Afghan women. Pushed the boundaries of plausibility in order to set up explanations for viewers. High marks for being eye-opening but low for common sense.
