#158 - Incendies (2010)

So far, this is my favorite film of the festival (if you don't count The Empire Strikes Back, since it's not a newer release).  It follows a set of twins who are given a mission by their mother who has just passed.  The mission is to find the father they've never met, and the brother they never knew they had.  Their journey takes them from Canada to Israel, where their mother is originally from, and they proceed to learn all about their heritage.  (But it's a lot less boring than that.)  Biggest complaint: its slow pace.  Still a pretty great movie that I look forward to seeing again.

Score: 9/10
