United 93: un bémol de la part de Newsweek

Je ne suis pas le seul (enfin!!!!!) à avoir des réserves au sujet du film UNITED 93.

Le critique cinéma de l'hebdomadaire Newsweek se pose aussi des questions sur l'utilité – et la nécessité – de ce film.

Extrait de sa critique:

"But the movie's strength-its wrenching realism-is also its limitation. Greengrass gives us the surface and sensation of reality. As a picture of behavior in extremity, it rings true.

But without context, psychology, politics or contemplative distance, you may wonder what, exactly, this re-creation illuminates. "United 93" isn't exploitation, but what is it?

On some basic level, it can't help but be a thrill ride, albeit one that leaves you somber and drained. Whether you need that ride is a question you'll have to answer yourself."
