United 93

Film Comment on Paul Greengrass’ docudrama United 93:

As such, its moral stance is that of a somber, uncompromising anti-spectacle.

Greengrass’s film is many other things besides: a cathartic act of bearing witness, an experiment in therapeutic reenactment, an anti-procedural, a meditation on the agonizing limits of communication-and a memorial.

When all is said and done, Greengrass got it right.
