FAMILY

Today's NYTimes Critics' Pick film was

Incendies (2010)

A woman dies and sends her twin children, adults, to Lebanon to search for the father and brother they never knew they had.

A lot of this is the hateful internecine wars fought between factions, religions and all that shit in the middle east. The battleground is Lebanon.

The drama is clean cut and well done with only a few stretches of the imagination to make it work. Tense, satisfying.

I would not want to see it again as good as it is. A 3 out of Netflix5.
