Wowzers...the writing, the directing, the acting!!! I am floored. Such an important story told so masterfully. Doesn't hit you over the head with a message or with the gore of what happened. Just perfect.

Wow!! This movie delivers a fresh perspective from the typical Hollywood clutter which seem to be the focus of major studios nowadays. The film puts you in the middle of the Rwandan genocide and it's an emotional journey, which is what the art of filmmaking is about. It's a welcome change and well worth the watch. More emotional, thoughtful, impactful movies such as this would be a tremendous upgrade from the standard watered down, box office garbage.

I was holding back tears even through the trailer. I learned so much from this heart wrenching film about the Rwandan Genocide and wish it could be required viewing for everyone. Such a tragic and senseless event that occurred so recently in human history, and like so many others, left out of the school books. A powerful story brought to life by the amazing actors. A must-see!!!

Love love LOVED this film. Kept me on the edge of my seat. This is not the kind of film to watch if you're looking for something lighthearted. I love drama and deep movies that are also educational, so this was a perfect pick. I had no idea about the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda so additionally this was very eye opening for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for an emotional dramatic film!

This powerful film based on true events is set during the Rwandan genocide and tells the story of 4 women who must overcome unimaginable circumstances in order to survive. Through vastly different backgrounds they fight to keep their sanity while navigating a claustrophobic environment. The women must learn to trust one another and work together if they have any hope of escaping their situation alive. While brutal and gutwrenching in its storytelling at times, the film has plenty of moving moments that demonstrate the power of love and forgiveness. Moving portrayals of these women through some very amazing and talented actors.

This film has a powerful story behind it, the crying parts hut home because you see the hurt! It reminds me of my little island, the Dominican Republic! Thank you for this movie! Now into the filmmaking it's self! The camera angles are important, the low angles to show how the scenes are powerful and overtaken from the bad guys was important and a great call! The actors were amazing and were invested in their roles! I don't want to give anything away but wow congratulations!! The ending what a surprise. Please watch it and really put your filmmaking hat on and watch it then tell me I'm wrong.... I'm not lol! Ps. I know the work behind it and seeing it on Netflix is inspiring!!!

This movie is a rare gem in many ways; the acting, directing, story, cinematography and editing. Captures your from the beginning to the end. I could not step away, its a MUST SEE!

It's emotional and inspirational movie ever I have watched... There are many inspirational movies but are underrated... We should encourage them. Hollywood need to make many movies on ethnic cleansing and genocide. Ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and in Bosnia and many other places one should make movies and emotional journey of black people in slavery and how the life changed them while slavery and hunger, poor natural disasters in Africa and many small and poor countries one should make movies on them...

Edit:"Captures your from the beginning to the end. I could not step away, its a MUST SEE!" Captured you in a very crunge way for sure. I seriously laughed at several scenes during this movie mostly the bad acting not the tragic happenings of course cause there were some but it wasnt like they showed the viewer any sad or tragic scenes it was mostly described with words. And at some times too ridiculous or unreal. It was hard to believe and the crying acts and attempts to look sad were so bad. The facial expressions the way they spoke and told their stories was so lame and cringe. "the story of 4 women who must overcome unimaginable circumstances in order to survive." --Omg! Someone clearly did not watch the same movie as I did. "The women must learn to trust one another and work together if they have any hope of escaping their situation alive." -Hahaha! Yeah the suspense almost made me fall of the bed and break my leg. "While brutal and gutwrenching in its storytelling at times, the film has plenty of moving moments that demonstrate the power of love and forgiveness." --Hahaha! Ohh dear god. Words matter. This quote is so flamboyant. I have already forgotten this movie and I watched it yesterday. Thats how moving it was. "Trees of peace" why is that title even it cause one of the women couldnt read and she tried to read the title of a book they somehow got their hands on. It was a scene of maybe 2 min max. And thats the title of the whole movie! This movie was so not anything of what these reviews try to make it. I challenge you to actually watch it! As much as you understand the headee of my review "I was so hungry" as much does this movie make an actual sense. Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! 35 min in and the UN is there to pick up only their own, the American girl who is there for no reason at all, Peyton, the worst actress ever who lays down refusing to leave and go and get saved from a war or massacre, or mass murdee? Hahahaha! And seriously was all men the only bad ones? There were for sure bad women aswell. This wasnt a men against women war. If this movie was powerful I cant be human. I must be an alien for lmfao. This kind of a pathetic attempt at depicting history incorrectly and very illusive is to me nothing but a laughing matter. Overall: -Acting zero, so bad, typical Netflix -Has a political agenda, -Is just a feminist film when its supposed to be a historical depiction of real events. "I was so hungry" What even does it mean. You will never know but its maybe 35-40 min in. The four 10 pointers who were stunned by this movie has to be bots or someone involved in the production of this pointless lousy, useless, fake cinematography. Edit: I am sorry, its now total of ten bots who maxed their reviews.
