Review of A Mighty Heart (2007) by Meredith B — 25 Apr 2008

A very good movie, but not a great one. Close, though. Turns out that Jolie can act, who knew? Makes it all the more annoying that she spends all her time in vapid roles that set feminism back. Maybe I'd even like her if she did more movies like this.

I love how this film felt like a documentary - almost never did it seem like anyone was acting. It was like we just happened to observe everything as it happened. The pacing was slow and the movie sometimes lacked intensity and emotion in the middle, but when it was good, it was very good.
