I thought this was a fine film: time will be very kind to it, in that as the immediate memories of the event start to fade, and the consciousness of the viewer is less saturated with TV news images, the craft of the film itself will stand out more clearly. Lots of excellent things in it.

On a related point, I couldn’t help but think in MoQ terms for some aspects – the way in which ‘social value’ binds groups together in such an essential way, to ensure that lives are not needlessly lost. Scorning social value has as much merit as scorning food.
