Chamber drama doesn't begin to describe this gripping French feature.

"In Syria" is a finely made film - brisk, well-acted and filled with tension and mean twists. But it's also a wake-up call and a cry for help.

| Original Score: A | Apr 20, 2018

Any narrative improbability or twinges of melodrama are overcome both by the striking performances and the visceral, immersive filmmaking.

Ultimately, this war-torn drama fails to bring out the big guns.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2017

Ignore the awful title, this is a taut drama that puts a human face on Syria's humanitarian crisis. No cheap thrills or easy answers here, but plenty of gut-churning drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2017

Van Leeuw captures both the everyday horror of living through war and the lurking threat of sexual violence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2017

Ignore the awful punning title; this is a serious and searing piece of work from the Belgian director Philippe Van Leeuw.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2017

As in Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968), [Writer/Director Philippe Van Leeuw] is exploring how quickly the veneer of civilisation can be stripped away when people are forced to fight for survival.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2017

A harrowing watch with an intense final scene.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 7, 2017

Insyriated is a powerful piece of theatre-cinema. Just bring your knowledge of the real war to scatter for seasoning and specificity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 7, 2017

It can sometimes feel like 'Insyriated' is awkwardly carrying the weight of an entire complicated conflict on its shoulders - but its sense of claustrophobia and immediacy can also feel horribly convincing.

| Original Score: 3 | Sep 7, 2017

There is something almost unbearable in this film's tension and claustrophobia, a brutally tough drama from writer-director Philippe Van Leeuw.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2017

Gripping from start to finish.

| Feb 13, 2017

This tautly-constructed, intensely claustrophobic drama offers a sometimes nerve-shredding depiction of what happens when conflict impinges on domestic space.

Like a Holocaust script that aims for sentiment and phony realism, the results reduce the tragedy to cheap 온라인카지노추천-movie tricks.
