The backdrop of the Rwandan genocide gives an emotional load to any film you'd make and the actresses make the most of this movie but its not great. They are sometimes overhearing obviously fake dialogues to increase the emotional tension. In the end its four women in a basement making one dumb decision after another without getting caught. After sitting through this you dont even hear what happened after because these characters are not "based on real life". The hero in this story is the husband bringing Them food continuously despite it being a movie about female strength. In the end if you want to watch a good movie on the topic watch hotel Rwanda or the killing fields (i know different genocide). Those are much better with real emotional development and dialogues that are worth watching.
