What critics say Critics are divided: 2 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less.
There should have been more history and more competence in 'Children Of War' for it to be the film it had set out to be.
Read the full reviewThe magnitude of brutality and shock is always amplified if preceded by brighter times, but in Children Of War, there is rarely any cause for hope or joy and sadness is only succeeded by further despair.
Read the full reviewDo not watch Children of War if you are looking for a dose of entertainment. Watch it to understand what could have caused one of the world's most painful struggles for independence.
Read the full reviewIt is impossible to believe that this war epic has been directed by a first-time filmmaker.How can a virgin artiste conceive such a vivid portrait of the rape of a civilization? This isn't really a film.
Read the full review...a very sincere effort to tell the story but alas, the overall outcome leaves you a little cold.
Read the full reviewIn spite of the odds, COH stands out for its earnest performances and thoughtful music. The film is tense and atmospheric. Wish it was more in-depth as well, given the gravity of the subject.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
Children of War is a movie based on the true events of the 1971 Genocide. Can we, in search of power, become animals? A genocide; neglected! The first use of rape as a weapon of war; undocumented! The lives of millions; unaccounted! The culprits; unpunished!
