    I didn't finish watching this movie, however I believe it would have been good if I could have understood the language.

    Interesting and engaging. Even though Evans Childhood is artfully presented in showing the effect of war on innocents like children, it fails to impact like other greats like the anti-war movies Come and See or Grave of the Butterflies . Still worth a watch though.
