Was moved by it, found it good, though also sui generis. A film
about a time we experienced that brought back waves of dread. Was
curious to know what exactly happened and admired the fidelity to
facts, the restraint. A bit bothered by the silly jiggling camera
particularly in all the suburban settings with people and kids. I
was spurred to see this by Martin Amis' positive review, but now I
see he was referring to Greenglass' "United 93" that just came out.
Will see that when it's on DVD. Would be interesting to compare the
films, say in a film school setting. Goes back to that exercise I
always envisioned of tasking a class to break up into groups and
shoot the same script on the same set with the same actors--the point
being that all versions would be different anyway.
