It's often difficult, at times nearly impossible, to watch a movie surrounding the theme of genocide. What's worse is the reality behind the politics and indifference the Western world tends to exhibit during these times of immediate need - let's not even mention Hurricane Katrina and that's in our own borders (Kayne probably said it best anyway). Not only does Hotel Rwanda establishes itself as one of the most moving, substantially critical films in 2006, it also makes you actualize how significant the absence of war in our day to day lives really is. That is, no axes are flying through my window, thank you very much. 9.0/10.
