| User ReviewAl HA very touchin' film about the events of 9/11. |
| User ReviewJessicah CA lovely tribute to those who perished due to the September 11th attacks. This film personalizes the horror of that day, and delivers some very honest and touching performances. |
| User ReviewMatthew FFor some reason RT would not allow me to respond to "Eliza C"'s comment, so I will address it here. I feel it is ignorant to say "I just don't see what new directions we haven't explored in the past 11 years since." To my knowledge, there have been a number of 9/11 films, most of them being documentaries...there haven't been nearly as many narratives about the subject. The most notable of the narratives being: "United 93" - which deals with the specific flight of United flight 93...."World Trade Center" which focuses on the stories of two police officers...."Reign Over Me" which deals with one man's struggle after the attacks....and most recently "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is the story of a boy who is trying to unlock a secret his father, who was killed in the September 11th attacks, left behind. This film, however, explores the lives of many different people. It is an artistic statement - that of the almost 3,000 people that perished as a result of that day, each of them had value, are worth remembering, and were not just "numbers". This is a very different perspective than any of the above mentioned have explored. There have been hundreds of films made about World Wars and other significant events in our history...why should 9/11 not be explored as so? Because it happened within the last two decades? I think not. It is a very important and relevant topic, and I applaud this filmmaker for making the gutsy move to take on such a significant and emotionally charged subject....especially this being an independent film. Most often independent films focus on fictional stories, or relationships. It is rare an independent film (not produced by a studio and for a budget under $1,000,000 - and in this case, under $100.000) to take on such a significant historical event. I have seen this film twice now, and think it is such an important piece that was made with integrity, respect, and passion. |
| User ReviewRichard SSaw this film at the New York City International Film Festival. Very well done. Everyone at the theater that evening was obviously moved, as was I. Bravo!! |
| User ReviewTerry G8:46 delivered on all fronts, beginning with production quality. First, I must credit the director... In dealing with a historical event that we are very much familiar with - halfway through, I forgot I was watching a film about 9/11, more interested in the lives and arc of each character, which I think was the point. I also appreciate that this film didn't exploit or take stance on any political aspect regarding 9/11, rather it relied on the moving performances of relatable actors like Jody Flynn, Mike Digiacinto and Shelly Shenoy. Laurie Dawn (The Adjustment Bureau, Boardwalk Empire) delivers a chilling, heart-wrenching moment as a mother who loses her son, watching on real time TV. Surprising bits of humor and coy in the days leading up to the attack also helped me lose myself in the world of these characters, truly interested in what was going to happen in their stories, until tragedy struck. I laughed, cried and was thoroughly moved by this surprising gem of an independent film. |
| User ReviewJapes .For an independent movie, this isn't bad at all. I really enjoyed it. It was short and showed experiences of families during the attacks of 9/11 in a very heartwarming way. |
| User ReviewLanky Man PPretty good for a first film. There were aspects that could have been better, but overall it was good, moving film. I liked that it didn't follow the typical 1-2-3 acts, but took a more artistic approach. |
