Movie Reviews of Bloody Sunday

Movie Review: Pretty good film
Summary: 4 Stars

A pretty good film. My only complaints would be that you'd better turn the volume up because a lot dialogue (in critical scenes)is mumbled and carpeted with a thick accent. I ended up sitting in front of the TV with my ears pressed against the speakers in some parts, however this may reflect listening to the Clancy Brothers and Prodigals too loud. This is an important movie, especially for those of Irish-American heritage. It is simply a "snapshot" of a tragic day within an eon of conflict and hate. The elder generation taught my generation never to forget the famine or the cruelty of the crown. I, in turn, will teach my children never to forget Bloody Sunday as well.

Movie Review: Mind-blowing cinéma vérité
Summary: 4 Stars

Even if you are not well-versed in the history of the subject matter you will be mesmerized by the technique employed by Paul Greengrass. It is simply astonishing the level of realism acheived within. Several times I got lost in the story, immersed as if I were watching a documentary and not a staged production. Very engrossing and several good supplements including commentary and a visit to the present-day real-life locations depicted in the film.

Movie Review: you may have to remind yourself that you are not watching actual footage...
Summary: 4 Stars

This film does a great job of capturing the spirit and atmosphere of this historical event. The movie was made in 2002 and the film is so well-made that you may have to remind yourself that it is a re-enactment and not actual footage. The acting is superb and based on what others have reported the movie has kept to a genuine protrayal of the actual story.
