One Life (2023)
6/10
Beautiful war story, but too much Hollywood for me.
15 January 2024
I cannot say other than that it is a wonderful true war story, however poorly and lazily written with no build-up of characters. There is no explanation or background of why the main character is doing this. I would have liked it if they had shown something of his childhood, some psychological reason why he is so driven to save these people, in order to get more into the story as a viewing audience. It feels uncomfortable though to give a low rating because the story per se does touch me, especially that survivors helped to make the film, and played along with the film themselves. I think the disappointment was mainly that this was necessary to feel emotion for the story, rather than a talent-written piece.
