A beautiful compelling movie

A suspenseful and moving film. A wonderful piece of work. An eye opener for people who doesn't know anything about Afghanistan and it's people. The actors are amazing and you don't feel like you are a watching a movie. A must see. Highly recommended.

A beautiful movie

I loved it through and through because it touched upon so many basic human connections. I was in Afghanistan in 2008 and 2014 and I can see how much effort and work was put into making a good movie. It also made me nostalgic for the Afghan mountains, their music and the many kind people I met there. Jirga is a must see.

Forgiveness

A very well done movie because you didn't really know what was going to happen to him.

Clearly forgiveness and understanding is much better than war.

For the person who reviewed this film suggesting it was the most boring film of the year, stick to Fast and Furious. I think Fast and Furious 23 comes out soon.-

Full of suspense and contemplation

Great meditation on repentance and forgiveness of an Aussie ex soldier. I loved seeing the landscapes of Afghanistan and it's people in this gentle and nuanced film. A film about peace and connection with a good dose of suspense and little moments of humour for good measure
