Critic Reviews for Sometimes in April

Audience Reviews for Sometimes in April

• May 15, 2009

  I saw this heartbreaking tearjerker with Mathew. It's all about the devastating massacre in Rwanda in 1994. The saddest part in the whole film was when the girls at the Catholic school thought they were safe but then the Hutus came and cornered them in a room. "Separate yourselves into Hutu and Tutsi," they demanded. Then one of the girls spoke up and said, "We are sisters. We will stay together." So the Hutus opened fire and slaughtered them ALL. I think this drama is an important film so that we never let this kind of massacre happen again. The film was very emotional and had well put together scenic design. It lacked in the storyline in that I was a bit confused as it went back and forth between 2004 and 1994. The ending was a little confusing as well about what happened to Augustin's wife. I had closure at the end, but I was still confused a little bit about how she ended up where she was. This movie is similar to "Hotel Rwanda" but I think I might like "Sometimes in April" a bit better.

  Graphic and touching depiction of the 1994 Rwandan tragedy.

  This movie was packed full of sorrow that felt so different in a movie , It so hard to watch torture and the heartache they had to go through. Also I thought had alot of meaning of why they wanted to show so many events to capture each of the lives and the pain they had to strive for. So good though. I hate it how people hate watching movies with subtitles, but relieze is it brings out so much meaning of what the movie is trying to portray:)

  Extremely important and powerful film, full of insight and anger. More explicit and centered than <i>Hotel Rwanda</i>. Less accomplished as a film per se, but extremely eye-opening for anyone who cares about history.
