Incendies (2010)


Twins journey to the Middle East to discover their family history, and fulfill their mother's last wishes.

Gripping and in the end harrowing exploration of the impacts war has on the lives on everyone involved, unfortunately told in a roundabout way.

Maltin ***1/2: "A tough, spellbinding story that deals with forgiveness and resolution, adapted by the director from Wajdi Mouawad's play. Note that the Middle Eastern country is never named."
