The dialogue is clearly the best part ofHeartbreak Ridgeand makes up for some of the more lackluster aspects.
The movie is inspired by true events, specifically the story of the film’s screenwriter,Mykola Voronin.

The movie was criticized for its graphic depictions of violence but was commended in just about every other aspect.
It comes from Australian directorJennifer Kent, perhaps better known for her outstanding 2014 supernatural horror filmThe Babadook.
Not only is this war movie a little spooky, butit makes an interesting and unique point, too.

It starsCillian Murphyin what may possibly behis most underrated performance ever.
Still, Day-Lewis' performance and an eye for the production design make it a worthwhile effort.
Sadly,I Am Cubanever had the chance to reach Western audiences due to its nature.
Still, it’sa brilliant and harrowing film that is definitely worth a watch.
