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

good movie and very stress-inducing but i can't help acknowledging the VERY poor timing of its release. i think it takes away from the greatness this movie could've had...

A real tight, fast paced edit is the star here, it’s all very quick, only an hour and a half in length, but even still moves at a super speed. It’s only after you’re off the train that you realise that the story is told pretty ineffectively - you’re engaged finding out the information, but that’s because the situation itself is engaging, the film, aside from great editing, doesn’t do much to add to it. I feel like a film in the more traditional sense would have been more effective for this story opposed to being entirely in the TV station.

Limitations aside was cool to see the inner workings of the operation of running live TV back in the 70’s. And of course always great to see John Magaro.
