This is a classic example of a film I admire more than enjoy. It's definitely got some good intentions, as its one and only aim is to show a realistic depiction of what refugees typically have to go through, and considering that it would obviously not be recommended to actually film in such conditions, I think that the documentary style works really well and makes it feel so much more real than it would have otherwise.
Unfortunately, that's kind of all it does. I didn't care much for the characters beyond any basic sympathy for being in this situation, the acting wasn't anything amazing, and the story goes in absolutely no directions that are the least bit unexpected.
It's worth a watch if you don't know what the typical refugee experience is, but other than that I can't really see it having much of an appeal.
