fun, but not that earth shaking. this was on someone's list of top 10 greatest films on Prime. This it is not.

A very good anti-war movie

The themes of the film are things you've seen before but that doesn't matter much when it is done in such a masterful way.

"Tangerines" is a little slow at first, but sticking with it is worthwhile. The movie has some strong ideas and solid performances. By the time it reached its final act, I could clearly see what the movie was trying to say and there is something truly beautiful and humane in it. The pacing of this short movie can be overlooked due to the strong message and impressive work from the cast. Overall, it is a movie with a simple enough premise but says something that is deep, true, and timeless.

I really enjoyed this movie. Good character development. Definitely worth the watch.

A deserved Oscar nominee.

This is an exceptional film by Zara Urushadze. The tone is set right off and maintained throughout until it needs to shift gears late. This quiet, reflective film conveys the sense of helpless separation felt by parties on all sides of war. It also clearly casts aspersions of war in general and the vile absurdity of what it does to people who are so often really practically neighbors, geographically, culturally and even historically. The four main characters are brought to life by astonishing performances. They are performances that could've been maudlin, overly melodramatic in the hands of lesser actors and a lesser director. Such wonderful economy of story telling and plot development. So glad I chose to watch this one tonight. 3.8 stars

My first view into the Georgian-Abkhazian of the 1990s. Tangerine farmers are sticking behind to harvest a crop and take care of their families when they end up teaching life lessons to two soldiers on opposite sides.

great movie! shows a war reality. very well done, very real

A gentle and delicate warning about death and life, wars and humanity! Beautiful filming and acting.

This Oscar nominee for Best Foregin Language Film pulsates with stirring benevolence with a parable of a pacifist Estonian resident unwittingly renders two rival combatants at a crossfire of a Georgian–Abkhazian conflict hospitality and spiritual awakening during their convalescence.

Not just another war movie. The story feels real and human and far from the front lines yet deeply entrenched in the struggles. It surprised me to like this film so much.

It certainly short and has a predictable plot, but hey Good for Estonia to have a film well-liked from people!

It was a good little drama about war, family, friendship and mandalinas. The cast was really good and it gives so much to think about in such a short time.

A remarkable movie! Must see!!

What a powerful film. This was one of the best films I've seen in a while. The message was outstanding. Deserves an applaud.

Powerful statement about war and humanity.

War brings us together to tear each other apart.

Don't really know where I would even begin the review for this movie. I guess first things first would be the fact that I thought this was a really damn good movie. It can even be a great one in parts. It's not what I would call a great movie from beginning to end, but I do think it offers a really compelling and satisfying story. Part of it is the fact that the story really is very simple. I don't mean that in a derogatory manner whatsoever, I just mean the fact that the story is simply told. The film takes place during the Chechen-Georgian war and has two characters from each side injuring themselves after a small conflict with each other and being taken in Ivo into his house until they heal up accordingly. The film deals with these two having to co-exist in the same house despite the fact that both want to kill each for, literally, no reason other than the fact that their respective sides are at war. So it's an interesting, but not necessarily unique, approach. I wouldn't say that this is so much an anti-war movie as much as it is accepting of the fact that these things will keep on happening until the end of time, but it explores simple themes about peace, conflict and how war doesn't really solve anything. It only begets more and more violence. The fact of the matter is that these two, Nika and Ahmed, the soldiers, would have kept at it if not for the fact that Ivo's wise ways got through to them. The film isn't sentimental in any way whatsoever, so I do think that it reaches the natural conclusion of Nika and Ahmed gaining some small aspect of respect for each other despite their varying differences. I like how despite the seriousness of the film, they do give you these little moments of calm and even comedy. Those moments never last. In fact, on almost every occasion, something worse happens. So the movie keeps you on your toes, anything could happen at any time. That's how volatile the situation the characters find themselves in. The film definitely has a really strong message, but, the great thing about it is the fact that it doesn't force its message down on you. It has its moral and all of that, but it never forces you to think alike. You make your own conclusions. I've always been anti-war, so the film provided a message I agree with, but not because it was forceful or heavy-handed in getting it across. The film also benefits from some really strong performances. Like all around. Lembit Ulfsak, who plays Ivo, is phenomenal here. He's understated yet powerful all at the same time. Strong character development is also prevalent here. So, really, not much to complain about when talking about this movie. I felt there was something missing that would've pushed it into greatness, but this is still a really strong movie with a great performances and really good storytelling. It's on Amazon Prime, so get to watching.
