I really enjoyed this film because it was very interesting and definitely gave me a great understanding of the Taliban. It made me think a lot about how unfair and terrifying life can be for people in countries such as Afghanistan and it educated me about the Taliban. I thought that the two young boys were played by very talented actors. I found the film very realistic and that is what kept me so interested. I think that the rating for this film is suitable although there are scenes that I found hard to watch, I think young people should still watch the film because its very educational and shows how some people actually live in these hard conditions. This film is very hard-hitting and I would definitely recommend this film to a lot of people. I think that a lot of different age groups and personalities would enjoy this film, apart from very young children.
