Review of The Messenger (2009) by Letty C — 17 Nov 2010
Firstly, why does a film as great as this take nearly a year to hit our screens. Secondly, I should say screen, as it is only showing at the Chauvel. This is a superbly written, powerful drama about the job of two army men who have to report casualties of war to nearest of kin.
It beautifully captures the pain and anguish of such times, aided by startling performances from Foster and Harrelson. Heartbreaking and heartfelt this is cinema devoid of all artifice and totally true and honest.
