Suitably Flip

United 93 Review

Mary Katherine Ham's got it.  The film will premier at the Ziefgfeld in New York this Tuesday in a screening for victims' families as part of the Tribeca Film Festival.

An excerpt:

I didn't feel like the movie was exploitative. There are no big stars saving the day single-handedly. There are many flawed, scared men and women who manage to do something very, very brave, but there also is not a lot of sentimentality.

The movie is stark, unadorned. The story speaks for itself. And, the people of Flight 93 and the rest of the victims of 9/11 deserve to have it told.

For all those reasons, it is hard to watch, but you should watch it.

Visit the film's official website for trailers and the making-of featurette.
