Sœurs d'armes

There are stories that do not make the news or do not seem as big as others. Maybe people are not interested in some. I mean right now most of the news cycle is about the Corona epidemic, while there are so many other attrocities commited and done. Some of them war related. Women taking up arms and fighting for what is right and oppression - it's happening and this was quite interesting to watch.

Yes you'll get some cliches along the way (or what seems like cliches), but the journey is worth it. Not an easy watch overall, but one that seems necessary for some to be reminded of certain things going on around the world we may not be so aware of.

"Soeurs d'armes" (Sisters in Arms) delivers a captivating story with a 7/10 rating from me, and I found it quite likable. The acting, particularly the chemistry between the two lead characters, is a standout, bringing depth and authenticity to their complex relationship in the midst of wartime chaos. The film editing keeps the narrative engaging, while its strength lies in shedding light on the often-overlooked perspective of female fighters in conflict zones. However, a minor weakness might be occasional pacing issues. The music subtly underscores the emotional undertones of the film, and the cinematography captures both the brutality and camaraderie of the battlefield. "Soeurs d'armes" is a poignant exploration of the bonds forged in the crucible of war, reminding us of the strength and resilience of women who stand together against all odds.

Acting is great, carachters are great. everything is fabolous... watching the brave women fight the bacon-haters is fantastic....

It shows how these courageous Kurdish girls alongside of their American and European allies fought the nightmare of ISIS

Last year, we had on the big screen LES FILLES DU SOLEIL, another feature speaking of the same topic, women soldiers fighting against the barbary of ISIS. I prefered the other one, especially for the end, In this film, the ending is too lousy, too smotth, in the pure Hollywood tradition; for the sissies. I prefered the other film, also made by a female director. It was more dark, brutal and compelling. But in this one, acting and directing are more than OK, the cast awesome. I won't say this film is too simplist, manichean. IT MUST BE. How could it be other, with such ISIS garbage, and barbary. Even if we had seen the female fighters torturing ISIS prisoners, behaving in the same manner as those criminals, how could we see ISIS other than the bad guys, the evil plague which the earth should be got rid of? I would also say this movie is too didactic, but it must be, to explain how these ISIS monster proceed to spread terror. This film is too simplistic but deserves to be seen.
