Review of Lions for Lambs (2007) by Richardl — 28 Nov 2007

This intelligent, passionate film eloquently lays out elements of the political conversation that the United States desperately needs to have with itself, and continually refuses. I think its long-term role will be more to provoke thought and debate among young people than to change any already-fixed minds.

Everyone involved in this project has taken a brave risk, and the style of film-making (low budget, expertly crafted and passionately felt) feels like one of the many 'new waves' that reinvigorated the medium over the last fifty years.

Gets a nine for relevance and importance.
