7/10
Gritty, Unflinching... Rosamund Pike is superb
12 December 2021
"War is the quiet bravery of the civilians who would endure far more than I ever will"
  • Marie Colvin, the most celebrated war correspondent
The trauma that she witnesses, the personal toll that it takes, a high society elite who has the audacity to stand tall and beard the most notorious dictators, who constantly faces her own personal demons and still sets new limits to bravery and being tested for bravado. Whether it's Sri Lanka or Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria.. the war counts the ones at the front but sometimes casts aside the civilians ... the peaceful uprising in Syria that turned into a genocide as President Assad ordered bombing innocent civilians tagging them as terrorists!!! How could one at such inhumane times continue believing in humanity!!!! True story, biopic of a combat-journalism rock star. Hard reporting infused with humanity that would tug your heartstrings. . A gritty unflinching screenplay. Commendable performance by Rosamund Pike.
