Review of The Flowers of War (2011) by Andrew Schenker for Slant Magazine — 18 Dec 2011
This film has too many weak, unconnected strands (what's the subplot about the narrator's father doing here anyway?), too much overtly expositional dialogue, and too unfocused a narrative to really cohere.
And then there's that whole matter of expendable whores.
