  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Beneath the crude language and violence, Journey to Karabakh is surprisingly sentimental and tender. It felt a bit like a Bolaño novel to me, but less explicit and less highbrow - like Bolaño if the characters weren't poets and only made references to American films.
