tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Not my Cup of tea. Went in with high expectations but I never got into the characters. There was just not enough life in the characters. I was supposed to be sad about a characters death who had like 3 lines? Yeah, no Sorry. Also the war crimes were just there for effect and didn‘t really feel like they had a real impact on the story. Mean girl gets to tell her story and describe the witnessed atrocities and then we never hear from her again. What a waste
