Montreal-based filmmaker Kim Nguyen paints a poignant and harrowing portrait of Komona, a 14-year-old girl (wonderfully played by nonprofessional actress Rachel Mwanza) who has been kidnapped from her African village by rebels to become a child soldier. She escapes from the camp with an older albino soldier and experiences for the very first time the joys of a peaceful and loving life, but a fresh tragedy will force her to confront and fight the ghosts haunting her mind. Although inspired by a real story that took place in Burma, Nguyen decided to film War Witch in the Democratic Republic of the Congo without giving a specific location to the plot. He worked on the film for 10 years, watching and catching children's points of view with his camera and mixing in tightly edited flashbacks in which the spirits of human beings appear with an ultra-realistic and violent storyline. But War Witch is also a poignant and impossible love story filled with magic, picturesque images, and even light moments like the powerful visit to an albino camp or the chasing of a white rooster.

Review For War Witch

Nguyen brings the harshness of this world alive not with big dramatic flourishes but with an everyday tone that makes it all the more frightening. This is how it is - how else would it be?
Tom Long-Detroit News

Canadian writer-director Kim Nguyen spent nearly a decade researching this docudrama about child soldiers in Africa, and the film feels as authoritative as a first-hand account.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader

A haunting take on unspeakably grim subject matter, shot on location in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

A powerful and upsetting portrait of a young girl compelled into unimaginably horrific circumstances.
Claudia Puig-USA Today

Nguyen, astonishingly, manages to wring something vaguely like a happy ending from this tragic story.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times

War Witch is most effective not when we are looking in on Komona but when we are inside her head.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

This year's City of God.
James Croot-Flicks.co.nz

... driven by a remarkably natural, unaffected performance by Mwanza. And Nguyen, despite relying a little too heavily on the initial voice-over for exposition, is a confident and sensitive intelligence behind the camera.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

You're likely to ponder its images, its insights into a very foreign (for most of us) location and the tragic situation of Komona (and others like her) for a long time to come.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Is it accurate depiction of Africa's child soldiers? I don't know, thank God. But it feels authentic to its very core, and that makes it as hard to forget as it is to ignore.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune

Brutal without turning exploitative, the result is harrowing and heartbreaking.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

Nguyen creates a mesmerizing tone through his camerawork, editing, sound and the infusion of African folk imagery and ritual, but it's Mwanza's performance as Komona that makes "War Witch" feel so miraculous.
Alison Gang-San Diego Union-Tribune

Nguyen reportedly worked on "War Witch" for a decade, and it shows in both the immediacy and authenticity of his tale, and the meticulous craft with which it's told.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian

Made with extremely clear-eyed restraint from harangues, sentiment, message-mongering, or anything else that would cheapen its central character's suffering and fight.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy

War Witch features a standout performance by Rachel Mwanza, but the supernatural visions don't really suit the film's tone and mood.
Jennifer Tate-ViewLondon

Nguyen's compassion and commitment to the issue is admirable, and at its best, War Witch is devastating.
Sean Axmaker-Seattle Weekly

War Witch is remarkable for the fact that it never strays into sentimentality or sensationalism.
Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia)

...a love story between youngsters who are forced to become adults all too early in their lives.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews

This is a straight ahead essay on warfare at its worst and the survival of the human spirit at its best.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics

An astonishing drama set in Africa that vividly depicts the courage and resiliency of a 12-year-old girl whose spiritual gifts enable her to survive.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

It is astonishing that film that contains such violence can have such a serene tone. The source of the serenity is the measured, calm narration by Komona (voice of Diane Umawahoro) that is the telling of her story to her unborn child
