Review of Incendiary (2008) by Markellus R — 02 May 2009

I really had no idea what this movie was about, but Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor are both good actors, so I gave it a shot. The plot synopsis pretty much explaines the entire story. The movie mostly concentrates on the aftermath of the incident. The mother (Williams) is emotionally wrecked, trying to make some peace with her life, meanwhile McGregor is a reporter who uncovers some clues about the incident and is trying to find answers.

Some elements of the story feel forced, like a subplot about a young boy who Williams starts following, and other elements just feel unfinished, like McGregor's investigation.

It maybe worth renting for Michelle Williams' performance (or if you used to watch "Dawson's Creek" and ever wondered what she looked like without a top).
