United 93
United 93 is "the feel-bad American movie of the year"? Catchy
pull-quote from
N.Y. Times Manohla Dargis, the only problem being that it's a highly debatable claim. I know what Manohla means, but this is
simplistic emotional coding .
My idea of a serious feel-bad movie in Barry Sonnenfeld's RV. (I would imagine it's Manohla's also.) For the life of me I can't get my head around the idea of a movie as assured and expert and heavily throttled as
United 93 making anyone feel "bad."
