571 reviewsHistoire dure, surtout puisque c'est des faits réels. Très belle réalisation
Film surprenant et très fort. Il dégage une puissance dans l’équilibre en l’horreur montrée sans impunité tout en montrant des plans souvent splendides. Les acteurs subliment la réalisation ! Ce film est vraiment très fort et manque peut-être un peu de surprises mais franchement a quasi 0 défauts !
