Hotel Rwanda review finds bleak yet powerful cinema
The film portrays Paul Rusesabagina’s effort to save 1268 lives amid the 1994 genocide in Kigali. Don Cheadle delivers a restrained star turn as Rusesabagina, with Nick Nolte’s UN commander and Sophie Okonedo’s Tatiana central to the tension. Some padding and music choices distract, but the movie remains deeply educational and worthy of attention.
