So, 'Good Kurds, Bad Kurds: No Friends But the Mountains' is this intense documentary that really digs deep into the complexities surrounding the Kurdish identity. Kevin McKiernan does a pretty solid job capturing the raw emotions and stark realities of the Kurdish struggle, all while balancing the fine line between heroism and villainy. The pacing is deliberate, letting you absorb the weight of their stories, which are often overshadowed by broader geopolitical narratives. There's a roughness to the interviews that feels honest—no polish, just real people sharing their lives amidst chaos. The film shines when it shows how perceptions of the Kurds shift based on political tides, challenging viewers to think critically about identity and allegiance.
