Ceasefire!

About This Movie

Ceasefire! is a brutal exploration of childhood innocence shattered by the harsh realities of war. The film centers around a young boy, navigating his existence amidst chaos, showcasing a stark, gritty atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing feels deliberate, drawing you into the boy's world, accentuating his isolation. What I found distinctive are the practical effects that add a layer of authenticity, grounding the emotional weight of the narrative. The performances, especially from the young lead, are raw and striking—there's a real sense of vulnerability that resonates deeply. It’s not your typical war film; it’s more of a meditation on loss, survival, and the haunting effects of conflict on the young.
