Recommandations

New York Magazine (Vulture)
A hushed and powerful piece. - 75
Portland Oregonian
So emotionally overwhelming that its aesthetics seem almost beside the point. - 75
Boston Globe
Short without feeling scant. That's how big its sense of grief is. - 75
New York Post
A devastatingly straightforward chamber piece that goes straight to the heart of what this city was feeling in the days right after Sept. 11. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
Simply and eloquently articulates the tangled feelings of particular New Yorkers deeply touched by an unprecedented tragedy. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
A small, heartfelt film. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
A very well-meaning movie, and it will stand in future years as an eloquent memorial to the World Trade Center tragedy. - 40
The A.V. Club
In spite of some affecting moments, the film never quite works. It's too theatrical, perhaps unavoidably.
