Sixteen (2013)
Written & directed
by Rob Brown this film stars Roger Jean Nsengiyumva, Rosie Day and
Rachel Stirling. A sixteen year old refugee now living in England
struggles to come to terms with his past as a child soldier and
witnesses a stabbing.
This is a really good
low budget British film that deals with some serious issues very
well. Instead of over doing things this is a subtle slow burner that
does not get melodramatic. The highlight of the film is the excellent
performance from young star Roger Jean Nsengiyumva who really
captures the conflict in his character during pivotal moments.
4/5
