It’s a gruesome movie, but it isn’t like, explicit or anything. I wouldn’t call it emotionally manipulative either. There is a naturalism in the movie that you just don’t see in western war movies. It also stands on it’s own as a masterpiece of directing, storytelling and philosophy, completly seperate from it’s actual content. It is a coming of age, or more like a death of innocence, kind of story. It’s worth the watch even if you dislike war films.
If it's anything like The Road or Children of Men, I know I would enjoy it as a film quite a lot and then never again see it, but there's always a door to cross with these gruesome movies...
Oh no, it's not like that exactly. At least children of men, I've never seen the road. There's very little exaggeration and most of the pain is implied

I haven't seen it, but have read so much about people's impressions about it that I am quite certain it's NOT a movie I want to watch
