''There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people.

The filmmaker's choice to ... read more

Great film but when it comes to the genocide in Rwanda I think Sometimes in April (not shown in Australia as a telly movie but as a movie) was actually more hard hitting then this one. Mainly because you got to see more of a portrayal of the atrocities and massacres where as this, to me, felt like it was more sheltered. Yes I'm aware that this was a true story but I don't think enough of the horro... read more

Kyle Ellis posted a review 2 years, 5 months ago

“Hotel Rwanda was one of those films I initially put off seeing for reasons I don't really know, but after seeing it that decision is one of those decisions that I've regretted as it turned out to be one of the better films I've seen in a while now. Hotel Rwanda is beautifully shot and the scenery is striking while still being authentic without being too clean. The story is always compelling and powerful, with plenty of gut-wrenching and poignant moments while never feeling preachy. The film is excellently directed and scripted too, while Sophie Okonedo, Joaquin Pheonix and particularly Don Cheadle give superb acting performances. Overall, a truly fantastic film. 10/10 Bethany Cox” read more
