Critic Reviews for Sometimes in April
All Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (0) | DVD (2)
Opts for a broader canvas [than Hotel Rwanda] both in time and space, exchanging a strong dramatic center for increased depth of detail and insight.
a powerful and effective piece of filmmaking. Full of sadness and a fair amount of anger [yet] not vitriolic.
Audience Reviews for Sometimes in April
Amazing movie!
Super Reviewer
I saw this heartbreaking tearjerker with Mathew. It's all about the devastating massacre in Rwanda in 1994. The saddest part in the whole film was when the girls at the Catholic school thought they were safe but then the Hutus came and cornered them in a room. "Separate yourselves into Hutu and Tutsi," they demanded. Then one of the girls spoke up and said, "We are sisters. We will stay together." So the Hutus opened fire and slaughtered them ALL. I think this drama is an important film so that we never let this kind of massacre happen again. The film was very emotional and had well put together scenic design. It lacked in the storyline in that I was a bit confused as it went back and forth between 2004 and 1994. The ending was a little confusing as well about what happened to Augustin's wife. I had closure at the end, but I was still confused a little bit about how she ended up where she was. This movie is similar to "Hotel Rwanda" but I think I might like "Sometimes in April" a bit better.

Sometimes in April Quotes
| Augustin Muganza: | Every year in April, the rainy season starts. And every year, every day in April, a haunting emptiness descends over our hearts. Every year in April I remember how quickly life ends. |
