Review of A Mighty Heart (2007) by Kate L — 15 Apr 2008

I liked the way this was filmed, messy , avoiding sentimentalism, and not making this tragic story into a blockbuster plot. Jolie is quite amazing portraying the strength of Mariane Pearl and having seen Pearl speak, she has her down to a T.

If you are unfamiliar with the political backdrop it may be difficult to follow and it perhaps doesn't go into Daniel Pearl's life and work as much as it could. All in all though this is one of those powerful films that is worth watching.
