Review of War Witch (2012) by Guillaume H — 15 Sep 2015
It is very important that you know what I did before you come out of my belly.
A young girl has her village destroyed, parents killed, and is kidnapped by a tyrant known as The Great Tiger to serve in his militia against the government soldiers. The girl shortly after going into battle is identified as a war witch that can see government soldiers in the woods. She partners with The Great Tiger's war wizard to escape and they eventually fall in love.
"There are many ghosts...too many ghosts.".
Kim Nguyen, director of The Marsh, City of Shadows, Truffe, and the upcoming Two Lovers and a Bear, delivers War Witch. The storyline for this picture is very compelling and contains interesting characters. It had a similar feel to City of God. I enjoyed the settings and execution of this film and the acting was very good.
"The hardest thing to find in my country is a white rooster.".
I came across this on Netflix and had to add it to the queue. The premise of this film was very interesting and I enjoyed how the story unfolds. This was a compelling character piece that tells the tale of more challenging places and lives. I strongly recommend this film.
"My wizard gave it magic powers.".
Grade: B.
