Movie Reviews of Sometimes in April
Movie Review: A moving and unsentimental film
Summary: 5 Stars
While Hotel Rwanda has certainly received more press than Sometimes in April, I think this film stands on it's own as an accurate and gritty account of the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994.
With the exception of the U.S. Government scenes, Sometimes in April is exteremely well acted. It is certainly bloodier and more violent than Hotel Rwanda and it portays the terror of the situation in a more matter-of-fact manner. One has a real feeling of dread and tension watching this film.
I really feel one should watch both movies as they compliment one another tremendously.
Movie Review: Powerful and moving film
Summary: 5 Stars
Having spent a month in Rwanda this past year, and having a decent background on the genocide, I thought that the film did an excellent job of capturing Rwanda (in terms of appropriately using Kinyarwanda language) and in capturing the horrors of the genocide without dwelling too much on the blood and gore. The scenes that jumped from the past to the present were a nice way to release the tension of the killings while still continuing the storyline. I have been told by friends in Rwanda that Sometimes in April is a more accurate account of the genocide than Hotel Rwanda, but both are worth watching.Movie Review: Gut Wrenching
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gut wrenching thing to watch, but should be seen by everyone. I recall someone asking why we keep bringing up such atrocities, and another person answered 'in the hopes that they never happen again'. Indeed, this film might accomplish the great feat of bringing the humanity out in everyone. We tend to ignore real trauma, and that is perhaps the biggest tragedy of all, for nothing changes. I was touched by the bravery and depth of humanity in the people who did put themselves in harm's way to help others. An incredible story that you won't want to ever forget.

Movie Review: How can we let this happen again?
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early 1900's its the Armenians, In the late 30's and early 40's its the Jewish people, also Australian half cast children ripped from their mother's arms (see Rabbit Proof Fence), and then Rwanda. It just makes you cry. Cry for the people, the victims - cry for the survivors, cry for us because political boundaries told us we cannot do anything to help. How can one nation, any nation stand by and allow this to happen? Why won't anyone step in and save Darfur region?
This movie beat out Hotel Rwanda in my opinion - however, That was good too.
Movie Review: Very Touching Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this film without a real knowledge about what happen in rawanda, It obvious that they were going through hard times and the world turned its back on them( I wonder if they had oil or anyother substance the government would want Us probadly would of sent aid) The scenes are really grahpic, I would recommend it to anyone I believe it isnt a good thing to hide humanites creulty from anyone even a child, Thats just life and you should give it to them how it is not how it should be or was, Great film any filmlover will definetly catch.
