“The most shocking movie ever made”
No, not The Innocents again, but the ever-readable Ciaran Carty’s pronouncement on United 93 in today’s Sunday Tribune. Both Michael Dwyer in The The Ticket and Harry Guerin on the RTE website give the film five stars, with Harry Guerin summing it up thus: “A tribute that no director could better, no amount of time will diminish and no-one should not bear witness to.”
Yes it’s distressing and difficult to watch, but it’s an important, exceptionally well-made piece of film-making. Go and see it when the sun finally beats a hasty retreat.
