Waltz With Bashir - One Sentence Review


Waltz with Bashir is less about the massacre which occurred during the 1982 conflict between Israel and Lebanon and more about the elusive and ever changing nature of memory; Waltz with Bashir is subtly evocative and utterly compelling despite it's only flaw which is a sometimes rigid human animation, one of 2008's best films.

4.5/5
