A movie with a confusing time-line might not be everyones cup of tea. It should be clear early on (though the time-lines do not change every other minute, most of the time), if you are into the storytelling that is handed to you. It seems unfair, that this movie did not get as much notice as some others. But hopefully when you discover this for you, you can treasure it more.
Speaking of treasuring things: the movie does have many nationalities and play in a war zone (at one time-line, which is the mid 90s) and has many languages it goes through. If you don't watch a dubbed version, I hope they imprinted subtitles on your version, otherwise you might have problems following the movie. It might be about 50% in English, the rest is quite a lot of European languages (including, Italian, some French and many others). The story is tricky, but still easy enough to follow. Great performances by everyone involved and no fear to look "ugly" (if Penelope Cruz can be accused of being able to look ugly that is).
