I just watched this movie today and I was completely disappointed. It felt like the movie wanted to make a statement, but keeping the story so neutral and middle grounded kept the movie from actually feeling like you're getting a story. You don't know nothing about the war, why it happened, and who is actually fighting, and for what. It all feels so vague.
The characters reactions seem off too. The youngest character tags along with the seasoned photographers. One minute she is so upset from seeing people being tortured to a few days later just jumping into the middle of people shooting at her.
The photographers are like this protected group of people so much so they don't even need to carry weapons because everyone just let's them tag along. Also because of everyone that's fighting looking exactly the same it's difficult to understand why everyone would let them tag along.
I found this movie lacking in story and character development. I will say that there were some scenes that were absolutely gorgeous. The gunshots matched for the scenes that were happening and not just recycling the same gun sounds for different guns.
3 stars for those reasons alone.
