I AM NOT A WITCH

Watchable. A heart-wrenching tale of a little girl accused of witchcraft. An apt portrayal of African villagers' mentality. Unfortunately the 90 minutes drag. And what ruins the movie is Vivaldi. Some African songs are sung as well. But the loud "Four Seasons" pieces are completely out of place. Both the volume of the music and it being a European classic.


FRANCOPHONIE FESTIVAL

LE TEMPS D'ANNA (ANNA'S TIME)

Watchable. A Swiss love story between a young watch-making entrepreneur and his schizophrenic wife. Clear-cut, well acted but nothing more than a romantic tale.

BARRAGE

Walked out. A mother returns to Luxembourg after a long time abroad and attempts to reconnect with her school age daughter which is awkward and boring. Additionally disturbingly their dog gets killed.
