Solid Effort; Years of Living Dangerously
|
| I hate bleeding-heart melodramas set in third-world countries starring Hollywood beauty-queens, BUT this one has a lot going for it. Amazingly, the dialog is good and the set-up works. The doctor has all the same objections to the do-gooders that any cynic might have, so one feels relieved of the duty of finding fault with the rich, guilt-ridden Jolie character who heads off to Africa with a truck-load of goodies. It is a brutal bit of realistic footage - those starving babies aren't actors! The film has a bit of honor and may even have done some good, although I doubt it. Still, it is a worthy piece of agitprop theatre, just the kind of thing you'd expect Miss Jolie to be part of, but here she pulls it off with flair. |
