Zionist propaganda

I feel really conflicted about this one. On one hand, it was really well shot and acted. Pacing was pretty solid and it was a gripping story. On the other hand, given world politics right now and the war in Gaza, it feels like the wrong time to release this movie and I felt uncomfortable through a lot of the film as a result of that. Not really sure 100% where I stand on this one.

a subject that is very important but not many people know or even remember.

very well shot, color pallete, production design, can tell it was very low budget since it was all shot in one location, wish we had more tbh.

it’s dark & eerie, pacing is alright a bit slow for my taste. good film overall but could’ve definitely been much bigger imo.

7.5 / 10

Very interesting, plot-wise… however, I simply can’t help but frown at the timing of the movie’s release, context-wise. We’ve had about fifty years to release a fictionalized narrative about the journalists who covered the ‘72 Olympic attacks, yet in the year of our lord, 2024, we’ve FINALLY made the decision to release a movie whose entire plot is driven by a deliberate lack of context and also both *checks notes* intentionally villainizes a very specific Arab nation while simultaneously glorifying the integrity of a certain conveniently relevant media conglomerate. Very American way to frame a narrative.

Excelente

8.5/10
I loved how they used actual footage. This movie genuinely left me sad at the end of it, for so many people and so many reasons.
I have a newfound respect, and disgust, with news reporters.
