Wow. This movie bored me to sleep. The animation style is fairly interesting but the disjointed story just didn't have enough to keep me interested. Maybe more real footage would have made me care. I'm not PC enough to rate this Wow. This movie bored me to sleep. The animation style is fairly interesting but the disjointed story just didn't have enough to keep me interested. Maybe more real footage would have made me care. I'm not PC enough to rate this higher than a generous 5. Israeli and Lebanese viewers may be interested. Others may just snooze and wish for something, anything, more.… Expand

The clever animation technique couldn't save this film. And I didn't see the value in animating the "talking heads" scenes of this documentary. Furthermore, I found the sequence of events confusing at times. Given the excellent The clever animation technique couldn't save this film.

Gotta say, I really wanted to like this film. Truth be told, it was sleep inducing. I understand the method: everything is in dreamstate or nightmare-realm untill the end-surprise-cut to live shot. The end is a great scene, but the rest of Gotta say, I really wanted to like this film. Truth be told, it was sleep inducing. I understand the method: everything is in dreamstate or nightmare-realm untill the end-surprise-cut to live shot. The end is a great scene, but the rest of the film is lacking. Having experienced true horrors in my life, and having been to the depths of the human psyche, I appreciate the effort of this film...unfortunately, it all felt contrived, fake, and meaning to make a buck off of a sad-typical-soldier as victim but not story. Props for trying, but I believe this is a failure. Critics are way off on this one.… Expand

Il Ã©tait intÃ©ressant de la part du rÃ©alisateur de nous livrer une oeuvre sur ce sujet sous la forme d'un documentaire. Mais je me demande pourquoi avoir rÃ©alisÃ© ce dernier en animation? Il faut le reconnaÃ®tre, cela apporte beaucoup de style Ã l'ambiance (trop...) hypnotique du film. Le problÃ¨me reste cependant les personnages, bien trop inexpressifs pour que l'on accorde la moindre crÃ©dibilitÃ© Ã leurs paroles. Heureusement, les doubleurs franÃ§ais sont lÃ pour apporter une immense part d'humanitÃ© aux protagonistes et intervenants (en mÃªme temps, nous avons les voix de Patrick Floersheim, Michel Papineschi, Jacques Frantz...). Reste que Valse avec Bachir soit une oeuvre tout de mÃªme puissante, sur la guerre et notamment la culpabilitÃ©.… Expand
