April was unsparing, without being gratuitous, in showing how horrific yet casual the violence was, and Idris Elba (The Wire) was stunning as a Rwandan officer who came to see the light too late to save his mixed-ethnicity family.

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

May 15, 2009I 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.Dannielle A Super Reviewer

Apr 15, 2007This movie was packed full of sorrow that felt so different in a movie , It so hard to watch torture and the heartache they had to go through. Also I thought had alot of meaning of why they wanted to show so many events to capture each of the lives and the pain they had to strive for. So good though. I hate it how people hate watching movies with subtitles, but relieze is it brings out so much meaning of what the movie is trying to portray:)Moviestar M Super Reviewer

Apr 07, 2007Extremely important and powerful film, full of insight and anger. More explicit and centered than <i>Hotel Rwanda</i>. Less accomplished as a film per se, but extremely eye-opening for anyone who cares about history.Pedro P Super Reviewer
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. |
