Movie Reviews of The Diary of Immaculee
Movie Review: Riveting!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this CD set after seeing Immaculee on a TV program and just caught the tail end, and was interested in hearing more...when I started playing them with some friends of mine, who are African American, I am White.....(I only mention that distinction because white or black these tapes and this story is equally heartbreaking) anyway the story and what happened is spoken of in such and articulate manor by Ms. Immaculee that we couldn't help but listen to them all right through, they are long and harrowing...and I recommend them to everyone so as to know just what atrocities are going on, and how are lives are darn good by comparison..there is also a DVD to order and watch...I have it but have not watched yet..can't get everyone all back together....
Please don't pass this CD set up...you'll never be the same after listening.
Movie Review: Riveting, Extremely well-done
Summary: 5 Stars
The film chronicles Rwandan genocide survivor Immaculee Ilibagiza as she returns to the scene of one of history's most horrific displays of inhumanity. The film is very well-done, taking the audience through the aftermath of incomprehensible brutality. Readers of Ms. Ilibagiza's book will be fascinated to see the bathroom where she and seven other women hid, to hear the interview with the Pastor who gave them shelter and to meet many other key figures in her book Left to Tell. I think the documentary is particulary impressive in that the director could easily have chosen to sensationalize this material, and instead presents the story in a straightforward manner. Very, very well done.Movie Review: The Diary of Immaculee
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a fabulous documentary...very moving. It realistically depicted the atrocities and horrors yet was tastefully done. It personalized a monumental disaster and put a face and individual story to the genocide. This one woman's remembrance becomes a tribute to her strength and endurance and a lesson in humanity as she returns to her country so many years later. You feel as if she is in the room telling the story directly to you...the method of film-making adds to the depth of her poise and emotion. Highly recommended!!Movie Review: Immaculee The Blessed
Summary: 5 Stars
The Diary of Immaculee brings to life the book Left To Tell. We go back and visit her home country, we walk the same paths, we go back to the small bathroom where she hid for those long months. We hear the sorrow in her voice as she walks us through her former life in Rwanda, and we cry with her. The sad situation could not have been written better. This book is another one to keep and reread.Movie Review: The Diary of Immaculee
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book Left to Tell (which was tremendous), and ordered this video right away when I saw that it was available. It is excellent also, both as a companion piece to the book or on its own. Immaculee's story is emotional and wrenching as it portrays an unbelievable tragedy. Everyone should see it so they'd feel compelled to help others who are now suffering and dying in Darfur.
