The simple story of a child consumed by radical religious fervour. 12-yearold Ahmed is an unassuming schoolboy who spends most of his time diligently assisting the local imam with prayers and ceremonies. No one would ever guess that he was planning to murder a teacher. Ahmed has no speck of doubt about the righteousness of the deed, oblivious to his own fanaticism, whose exact cause is unclear. Was it his father’s long absence? Or the boy’s isolation from the world around him? In their 11th fiction film, the Belgian Dardenne brothers tell deeply the human story of a boy with a minimalist narrative structure but an extraordinary character arc, following every step of the young protagonist’s psychological progression.

Through the emotionally neutral story of a fanatic teenage boy, the creators vividly showed how essentially any religion can be easily abused. Just by brainwashing sufficiently malleable individuals, who can quickly turn into dangerous criminals under the guise of faith. I was really amused by the one person’s suggestion that this wasn't even in Europe during the Dark Ages. I wish such a person could experience this infamous period of history for himself. I think he'd be running back to the present very quickly. Europeans then, under the auspices of God, committed far more massive and brutal atrocities than the people here, wherever they are originally from, resort to today. (70%)
