Review of Incendies

Incendies (2010)

Here is what really, really bothers me

Warning: Spoilers
Here is what really bothers me: On her grave stone it states, that she was born in 1949 and died in 2009.

Now, and I am giving the script every chance, let's say she is very young, when she has the first son. The actress is 37 at the time, but let's say 16, nevertheless.

That means we've now reached 1965.

The twins are played by 29 and 36 year-olds. Let's make them both 29 (even though the female twin mentions '35 years ago', when talking about her mother in the old country) That means they were born in 1980 and conceived in 1979 - when their brother/father was 14. AND, mind you, he was a deadly sniper for 4 years prior to coming to the prison - plus what ever time it took for him to remade from an Islamic sniper to a Christian expert in torture.

So, a 10 year old super sniper?

You get my drift here?

The ridiculous coincidences at the end of the movie is a whole other matter of contention...
