VARIETY - May 18th "The pic eschews the hostage-crisis scenario to concentrate on the weeks leading up to their deaths, transforming what could have been an ordinary docudrama into a transfixing meditation on religious conviction, post-colonial strife and the force of actors who elevate every gesture to a loftier domain.

and sexual taboos, the film is an interesting fusion of horror and psychodrama,
buoyed by a striking teen cast filled with brooding hunger. “ More on Hollywood Reporter.com
