Review of Timbuktu (2014) by Derk D — 22 Jul 2016

Timbukte is very relevant in today's life. It shows us a city ruled by religious fundamentalist Muslims, we see how the people of this town have to live under their ridiculous laws and visions. We follow the daily lives of different individuals, but it focuses mostly on a family that lives in peace just outside the town.

One small mistake makes for a disastrous turn of events for the family. Although I must admit Timbuktu has some very powerful moments and very beautiful scenery, most of the film was extremely boring.

I can't say anything I saw interested me in any way. The message of the film is clear and for some could be very powerful. It didn't reach me and I will forget Timbuktu immediately.
