THE SOUTH SOUND'S ONLY LOCAL FILM CRITIC >>>

A funny thing happens toward the end of Incendies. In a film that truly centers on the nature of revenge and the vicious cycle that can arise from calling for an eye for an eye-after we see how cruel and senseless this inevitably becomes-we end up complicit in this thirst for blood. We want revenge against someone who committed vile atrocities. When the film ends with a message of forgiveness, it's a marvel how this suddenly seems like a novel and commendable approach.
