With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. Nobody is quite who they seem. Shelve it next to The Look of Silence or O.J.: Made in America. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 53 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The testimony of the men who unwittingly became war photographers on the streets of their own towns in Northern Ireland, when violence erupted around them. Instead of photographing weddings and celebrities, as they expected, they produced the images that crudely show the suffering of ordinary people between 1968 and 1998, the worst years of the conflict.
