dewlineI went and saw that movie tonight. You can thank this interview of Laura Poitras by Piya Chattopadhyay on Q from a little while ago in part for that decision.
I was laughing as I left the cinema. It wasn't a pleasant laugh. Because I cannot doubt what I saw and heard.
Still...it was worth the time and money. And I paid cash for the ticket.
Oh, for further amusement value? The theatre where I saw it is right across the street from what I sometimes call "Spy City, Canada". It's the only movie theatre in town that'll show it. So far, anyway.
Frankly, I was surprised that Cineplex picked up that gauntlet. At all. I'd figured the Bytowne would have this one locked up, it would last two or three days there, and then we'd all be waiting for the DVD or iTunes or whatever's next...
