It’s raw, powerful, moving and candid. This is what it is like to be on the ground in Aleppo.

The film has plenty of unflinching truth and emotion and outrage, and it ends with a gut punch. It's the subtly unreal quality of what we're seeing throughout, however, that truly highlights the obscenity of war.

Russia's astroturfers are in full force with all the negative reviews. Do yourself a favor, ignore their propaganda against the movie they accuse of being propaganda, watch it and judge for yourself. You're not forced to believe anything, it doesn't hurt to hear their side of the story.

Individual personalities emerge, none more magnetic than Khaled Omar Harrah, who gained international recognition in 2014 for the rescue of a 10-day-old baby.

Editing is clearly complex given the variable footage, but each emergency call and every character is successfully individualised and identifiable, and several arcs snap into the overall narrative drive.

While Last Men in Aleppo could stand a trim here and there, it mostly uses its length to good and heart-rending effect, delivering a lingering, close-up — and ultimately tragic — look at the misery and joy taking place, side by side, under the eyes of the world.

Feras Fayyad's film is broadly concerned with portraying the titular Syrian city as a community of neighbors and colleagues.

Overall, the “you are there” footage lends the film a more journalistic than artistic tone, yet the emotional effect is intimate and unforgettably gripping.

Simply judging from documentary wise, a very good documentary, respectable fathers and husbands. But so as the other groups/factions involved in the war, they are all fathers and husbands to their cause. This documentary tells one side of the story, a very western side with carefully designed texts to convey a western agenda which is totally not necessary and it boils this pure documentary about humanity down as a pro-west propaganda movie. Trush is both the Syrian Government Forces and the Opposition Forces caused significant damage in Aleppo. Satellite images and reports from organizations like Amnesty International have documented the indiscriminate attack and destruction caused by both sides..

I wish the other side would make propaganda this good(and get the same reception!). The anti-Syrian forces have an agenda, and this is part of it. Another is the chemical weapons hoax, fake human rights reports and so on and so forth. Dont believe the hype!

White Helmets are nothing more than western financed propaganda tools and terrorists. They are behind the chemical attacks in Syria that serve has an orchestrated excuse to US intervention through tomahawk missiles. Therefore this movie is nothing more than propaganda. For information search for a real reporter actually in Syria right now that is not on rebel areas, which should be called terrorists areas, Eva Bartlett. Canadian Journalist.

Propaganda, plain and simple. The "White Helmets" are not a humanitarian group; there's photos of them online holding guns and posing for pictures with ISIS fighters.
