Watch War Witch Movie Online No Survey Montreal-based filmmaker Kim Nguyen paints a poignant and harrowing portrait of Komona, a 14-year-old girl (wonderfully played by nonprofessional actress Rachel Mwanza) who has been kidnapped from her African village by rebels to become a child soldier. She escapes from the camp with an older albino soldier and experiences for the very first time the joys of a peaceful and loving life, but a fresh tragedy will force her to confront and fight the ghosts haunting her mind. Although inspired by a real story that took place in Burma, Nguyen decided to film War Witch in the Democratic Republic of the Congo without giving a specific location to the plot. He worked on the film for 10 years, watching and catching children's points of view with his camera and mixing in tightly edited flashbacks in which the spirits of human beings appear with an ultra-realistic and violent storyline. But War Witch is also a poignant and impossible love story filled with magic, picturesque images, and even light moments like the powerful visit to an albino camp or the chasing of a white rooster.

Review For War Witch
This intense, gripping drama is utterly transporting. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News Brutality and tenderness are a potent mix in "War Witch." V.A. Musetto-New York Post The movie is committed to revealing the world through Komona's eyes, and you never feel a taint of voyeurism or condescension. It stays true to her. Stephen Holden-New York Times It's depressing stuff, to be sure, but it does a marvelous job at giving us an impressionistic taste of horrific circumstances without using them to beat us into submission. Jordan Hoffman-Film.com Nguyen's matter-of-fact storytelling proves to be the right match for a life of extraordinary suffering. Zachary Wigon-Village Voice The sensitively imagined story of a child soldier in Africa makes War Witch a genre benchmark and a breakout work for writer-director Kim Nguyen. Deborah Young-Hollywood Reporter Writer/director Kim Nguyen...takes us to a place most of us are lucky enough to barely imagine and does so with grace and sometimes even beauty. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews While War Witch is a gorgeously made film with strong, natural performances from its leads. Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered As a 12-year-old African village girl kidnapped by rebels and forced into brutality, Mwanza guides the audience through a nightmare beyond most comprehension. Greg Evans-Bloomberg News Though ostensibly a character study, it's nevertheless characterized by the vaguely moralizing tone of an issue film, one whose candor in face of brutality seems calculated for maximum liberal appeal. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine War Witch is a remarkably mature portrait that trusts its audience to have their own reactions to its material; it doesn't yank at the heartstrings so much as expertly tune them. Tasha Robinson-AV Club The film's subject is almost too horrible to contemplate, but it finds a way to space out the blows without softening them. Sam Adams-Time Out New York Creative film storytelling at its finest and a truly unique coming-of-age tale. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net ...startling, hallucinogenic war drama Chris Barsanti-Film Journal International 21st Century Africa presented as a godforsaken wasteland conjuring up primitive images reminiscent of the ghoulish dystopia chronicled by Conrad in Heart of Darkness. Kam Williams-AALBC.com Infused with Terrence Malick spices, War Witch aims for ambiance as a way to approach its searing images of war, keeping the viewer unnerved instead of outraged when inspecting the troubles of Africa. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com What's missing here, in order to raise it to a different status, is the fierce involvement that comes from someone who lives inside the picture and is therefore, personally concerned. Dan Fainaru-Screen International Nguyen's decision to look away from carnage and avoid melodrama is admirable, making room for sensitive and imaginative filmmaking, but it softens the blow the subject would otherwise deliver.
