User Reviews

Rebelle is an intense, harrowing, violent drama in its entirety, even if it tries at all cost to minimize its total brutality, it still manages to be shocking, tonalizing in counterpart, it makes us sympathize with its protagonist, that even after what it has done, was A mere victim of war.

A remarkable story that even though it does not claim to be based on a true story, it probably is. It is the story of a 12 year old narrating to her unborn child the harrowing story of how she ended up in the rebel forces in an unnamed country in Africa and what she'd been through. It is such a good film that without ever being over the top it manages to mesmerize the audience with a mix of great acting, exquisitely chosen soundtrack of African folk and pop music, extraordinary cinematography including the hair raising depictions of the spirits of the dead. It is a film that will not easily be forgotten.
