CGiii Comment

Beautifully shot, intensely played...

It's a slow unraveling of cold cruelty pitched against the warmth of kindness...within the chaos of war.

The director takes his time...but, the climax seems a little rushed.

Definitely worth seeing...for the callous performance of the judge alone.

Chilling.
