Haing S. Negotiations gives a performance for the ages. One of the greatest war films in history, with a great message.
A harsh true story of how cruel humans can be to each other. Very authentic I would say. No subtitles was unusual but interesting.
Sobering portrayal of events that are so disturbingly unreal yet so recent in time.
Reminded me a lot of 1984 with the kid "spies". A chilling stand alone insight into a forgotten part of history.
I like Sam Waterston a lot, but this movie really only picks up when the focus turns away from him. Then it is stunning and heartbreaking.
Deeply personal account of the Khmer Rouge atrocities in Cambodia.
Brutal and tragic look into a true historic event.
Amazing depiction of the Combian Civil War and an astonishing portrayal of friendship and bravery
Visually stunning and shocking movie. A movie everyone must see at least once.
Powerful and sad. R.I.P. Haing S. Ngor.
