2010 Sundance Film Festival

Unique story. Cinematography reflected the bleakness of the lives of the characters. Well acted.

Good cinematography; captured the complacency of the era.

The cinematography is beautiful, the acting is excellent, it's an intricate story, but this film is about 20 minutes too long, which detracts from the overall effect. The excess time is spent on up-close shots of raindrops, body parts and flowers and, honestly, it gets a bit boring. The viewer wants to get on with the story!

I didn't get this film but think it could have been done without the dysfunctional rock band backdrop which was loud and distracting. Following the story required a leap over realism and facts, making the premise just plain silly. The acting, however, was excellent for the most part.

Dark subject matter but important message that needs to be seen by all Americans who have become complacent about the U.S. role in Iraq; realistic and painful to watch but a must-see film. Hope this makes it to wide distribution. Superb acting.

Disappointing. I sensed that the subtitles were incomplete, leaving lots of questions about the subject matter of the film. And I question the editing and felt some scenes were out of place, making it difficult to follow the story.

Good message, well acted and interesting from historical perspective.

Moving subject matter, excellent story, superbly acted and very well done. Unfortunately, the subtitles are distracting for English-speaking audience because more than half of them were lost on the background, so some meaning was lost. Hope the filmmaker can improve the quality of the subtitles if this goes into wide distribution.

Creative and well acted, funny and poignant. Enjoyable from beginning to end. This one should make it in wide release!

Well acted, but disappointing little film.
