The story of female Kurdish warriors fighting ISIS to save their hometown and families could've been one of the greatest movies ever. But this movie doesn't get to that level. It's good, but not great. The story of Kurdish determination gets muddled quite a bit by the focus on the French journalist and the frequent flashbacks. Sometimes flashbacks work, and at least in this movie it's obvious what's a flashback. I just wasn't as moved as much as I thought I'd be.
