Hollywood star Angelina Jolie says she’s had a “difficult” time since splitting from Brad Pitt last year.<\/p>\n

She told the Telegraph: “It’s been difficult. I don’t enjoy being single. It’s not something I wanted. There’s nothing nice about it. It’s just hard.”<\/p>\n

In another interview with Australia’s\u00a0Sydney Morning Herald, she said she had spent much of the last year “just taking care of my children”.<\/p>\n

“I can’t pretend this isn’t a tough time in my life,” she added.<\/p>\n

“But I’m trying to get through it by just moving forward and knowing it’s part of being human.<\/p>\n

“Maybe sometimes it appears I am pulling it all together, but really in fact I am just trying to get through my days.<\/p>\n

“I will eventually balance more and do more work, but because of family issues it’s been extremely tough.”<\/p>\n

The actress turned director has been giving interviews about\u00a0First They Killed My Father, a fact-based drama that premieres on Netflix this month.<\/p>\n

Set in 1970s Cambodia, it tells of the survival of activist and lecturer Loung Ung under Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.<\/p>\n

In another interview\u00a0with The Hollywood Reporter, the 42-year-old said she had been “needed at home” and would go back to work “when I feel it’s time”.<\/p>\n

The star said she would do some acting first, because she didn’t “have anything to direct that I feel passionate about like” her latest film.<\/p>\n

Jolie said her first role after taking time off would “most likely” be the sequel to her 2014 fantasy Maleficent.<\/p>\n

First They Killed My Father had its premiere this weekend at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado.<\/p>\n

A few reviews have started to trickle through, among them a positive one from The Hollywood Reporter’s Scott Feinberg.<\/p>\n

FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER is Angelina Jolie’s best directorial effort yet. Might well be a contender beyond the foreign language category.<\/p>\n

In contrast, his film critic colleague Stephen Farber was\u00a0a bit lukewarm.<\/p>\n

The film, he said, was “a well-crafted labour of love that certainly will educate some viewers about the tragic history of Cambodia during the 1970s”.<\/p>\n

“What the film doesn’t have is the visceral impact that would take it from a well-intentioned treatise to a searing work of art,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Writing in Variety, Peter Debruge also had mixed feelings.<\/p>\n

\"Angelina<\/span><\/figure>\n

“Angelina Jolie teams with [producer] Rithy Panh to honour Cambodia with an earnest, impressively cinematic saga that really ought to be more compelling,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

The Netflix film – Jolie’s fifth as a director – has not been without controversy, having generated criticism over her description of its casting process.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0Vanity Fair interview, Jolie described how directors had played a game which involved giving money to poor children then taking it away.<\/p>\n

Jolie subsequently said it was “false and upsetting” that people had misinterpreted her description of how the roles were cast.<\/p>\n

Vanity Fair\u00a0responded\u00a0by saying it stood by its story.<\/p>\n
