The movie was good and worth watching even with subtitles. It is very depressing, but that due to the subject, that's expected. Even though the it is a story, it had the feeling of being authentic as though watching a documentary. I would recommend to those that want to get the feeling of hardship that those of the time had to go through and quite possible still go through in other parts of the world. It's a universal story of hardships endured through times of war and misplacement during conflict. The movie is a dark movie where there is a constant suffering of the characters until almost the end of the movie. Some parts could have probably gone into more detail about the ideologies of the people, but I would still recommend it.
