    Could I just point out at this time that some of us Not American people are capable of reactions other than crass insensitivity? And that it was only two years ago - you can hardly blame America for still hurting, or failing to "forget about it"? Or that, you know, there's a film somewhere that we're meant to be talking about?

    They don't all work. Chahine's isn't quite sure what it wants to do with its interesting premise. Sean Penn's is soaked in cliché and disrupts the emotional core by being, well, annoying. But Ken Loach's "Well..." statement is worth the admission price, and Innaritu's is utterly horrifying. Even if it sometimes smacks of certain directors grabbing kudos from incalculable horror, the whole package is, int the end, a worthwile attempt at an artistic reaction to the tragedy.… Collapse

    The most booooooring movie I've ever seen. You american people should really get over it. It's history, forget about it. I'm not again americans, but please, don't push it. You got kicked in the ass, your own fault. I hope they won't make a movie about Irac, it wouldn't be pretty. So please give it a rest.

    They vary enormously in style, quality, and ideas, but the best of them -- by Gitai, Chahine, and Iñárritu, among others -- pack an enormous emotional and intellectual punch.

    The filmmakers' attempts come to terms with a recent catastrophe of indeterminate meaning but global consequences are often fascinating.

    A sober, thought-provoking response to a tragedy of worldwide import and a much better film than one might expect from the pre-release publicity.
