Tell me you want to say nothing but with a decent-large film budget. I took nothing from this but hentai 3D porn being emblazoned into my brain with long takes. Whole time I was thinking, “ok i get the desensitization and all, but no other theme has time to be strongly relayed when the film is more concerned with being more visually dynamic (and it does that well) than conveying any of the themes with depth. The editing doesnt help either

Pleasant jazzy arrangements played alongside downright ominous archival footage of a chaotic decade for newly independent states from the global South. Being African myself, it is chilling to watch the scenes unfold and parallel them with the plight still happening in the Congo by the same perpetrators. This film should not only take home top honors for the awareness it brings to audiences but also for the unique editing which never lets the film feel boring or slow, despite the long runtime.
