More intense than any car chase ever!
Incendies is the best movie I've seen in years. Rife with anticipation, and painfully emotional, this movie had me on the edge of my seat for over two hours. Unlike other movies that build to a climax, Incendies grasps your attention from the very start. And the twist at the end was completely unexpected. Best of all was the superb acting - emotional and not over-wrought. It would help to know from the beginning where the movie is set; it's in a fictional country (read, Lebanon). The confusing clashes between the religious clans sends the viewer off kilter, intentionally creating an atmosphere reflective of the harsh realities of war. In short, Incendies is a MUST SEE move.
