Krigets barn

War Witch

…en bedårande berättelse värd varenda utmärkelse och positiva adjektiv den tilldelats…

...is a remarkably mature portrait that trusts its audience to have their own reactions to its material; it doesn’t yank at the heartstrings so much as expertly tune them.

It invites its audience to regard the ruthlessness of a foreign land from a safe and comfortable distance, delivered in a stylized package by yet another in an endless line or privileged voices.

...exquisitely shines a light on the brutal world of child soldiers, a devastating subject profoundly worth exploring.

The performances from Mwanza and Serge are moving and natural and carry few of the flaws usually associated with first-time actors. War Witch is a strong film in that regard.
