Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Affliction by MSF is a heartbreaking documentary about the real world, Ebola in West-Africa. Through the eyes of the people working in the Ebola-area and the affected communities, you can see the consequences of an enormous Ebola out brake in underdeveloped countries. The incomprehension between the locals and the humanitarian workers is captured in a breathtaking way. The fear of the community, who thought the 'white men' were infecting them. The superstitiousness towards the aid workers that can finally be taken away by collaboration between the village leaders and MSF by education and raising awareness.An absolute recommendation.
