It’s been quite chilly so there’s been quite some Netflixing going on lately. I can honestly say the best movie I have seen this week has been “First They Killed My Father” a heartbreaking movie about the Khmer Rouge’s impact in Cambodia. This film was directed by Angelina Jolie and is based on 7 year old Loung Ung’s life during the reign of the communist Khmer Rouge’s terror.


I definitely give this movie 5 out of 5 stars. It’s truthfully told, beautifully filmed and to see the raw impact war has on families was heartbreaking. If you haven’t watched it I highly recommend you do!

What is the last great movie you have watched?

I think that this is Angelina Jolie's best work to date. It certainly is heart-wrenching...

Its been a while since I saw a really good one that Im willing to admit to.

Well thankyou very much for sharing your experience maam I'll surely watch this movie as soon as i get time

I’ll place this one on my must see list. I watched a mini series called “The Sinner” on DVD (I get a lot of movies at the library) and although it’s pretty twisted it was good😉❣️

Twisted can’t be good! It’s only bad when you’re twisted and all tangled up on your naughty swing like googly did! The firemen resorted to just a cutting her down lol

Oh! Always looking for Netflix suggestions. We will have to watch this one!

I truly think you will enjoy it!

I’ve been looking for a good movie, will have to check that one out, thank you!

It's not an easy movie to watch but it is a great movie indeed! I think you will enjoy it!

I am sure I will, I’m in the midst of writing a novel about a Holocaust survivor, so I don’t mind intense!

Wow! I’m a big WWII fan! I look forward to your new project!

Thanks, I’ll be posting bits of it here, eventually but I’m taking my time with this one, the research is intense to say the least!

I’m so excited!

Was actually just getting ready to post the opening but it’s still rough!
