Upping my rating a .5 because what the hell is everyone on about that was so much fun! I feel like people are so uptight about genres and won't flow with this film like we should. That cast was amazing.
Nicole Kidman and Gael García Bernal, I wish we could have seen them work together even more all these years. Mimi Cave should have let them be nastier idkidk. I didn't expect their characters to have time to be so…

Okay this one I do find way too tragic and pessimistic. They deserve so much better! But it was such a great way to get into Max's mind and how he views the world. What a life he's had!

...Unfortunately this is the type of film that would be terrifying at the hands of certain Western audiences and their children. Though I am a fan of the pretty visuals, the material itself feels outdated, and very comfortably leaves out the role of certain imperialists to the protagonist's country.
Maybe I am also irked at how much this was promoted as something women produced (Jolie) and directed (Nora Twomway), both of whom are white, while also leaving out the fact that not a lot of Afghans were involved, which one eventually suspects going through the film.Translated from by
