Incendies (2010)

I am sure my lack of familiarity with history probably limited my appreciation for this, so as an outsider, I can only say this about the film: I don't get the mother's motivation for wanting her children to know the truth, other than as a narrative device to allow the story to unravel. But this is just a nitpick. This is a potent film about human nature. Nicely told for the most part, and worth a watch.
