One of the best and most important films you'll ever see

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

It's completely understandable that some people may not wish to see "United 93". It will expose raw feelings. But for all its shock value, it is never exploitative, and it has something important to say.
The passengers of Flight 93 were heroes. But they were ordinary people unknown to us before 9/11. We even know a few of their names from that terrible day  Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham  and we celebrate them, rightfully, as symbols of the very best in us
When I walked out of the dark theater early this week and back into the ordinariness of my own life, blinking away tears in the bright sunshine, it felt like a gift. If "United 93" helps us to honor what has gone and to appreciate what is still with us, then it's done more than most movies ever will.
