About This Movie

So, #73 is a heavy watch, you know? It dives deep into the horrors faced by the Yezidi community, particularly during the rise of ISIS in Iraq. The pacing is relentless, mirroring the urgency of the protagonist's mission to save his parents from a village torn apart by violence. The tone is raw, filled with an almost palpable tension, and it's hard to shake off the weight of their reality. The storytelling weaves personal tragedy with larger historical events, making it feel intensely personal yet universal. What stands out are the stark visuals and the way the documentary captures both the landscape and the emotional landscape of its subjects. The performances are understated but resonate powerfully, capturing the fear and hope in their struggle.
