Review of WTC View

WTC View (2005)
10/10

Warning: Spoilers
Haunting in it's simplicity. This movie captures the raw emotions of the days following 9/11 without sensationalizing nor cheapening the memories of those we lost. The limited cast performs an incredible range of emotions that draw us to them and allow all of the different types of emotions and reactions people moved through to be explored. The lead, Eric, draws us into his pathos as naturally as going for a walk and his descent is haunting. Despite all of the fear and anger that he (Eric) experiences, and the frightening awe of Alex's survival of Tower 1, you feel better for seeing their performances.

This movie serves to remind us of what we saw, felt, thought, and never said to anyone. It is refreshingly real and without the pretension of a documentary or newscast. Instead we see the rawist of human experiences in people we root for (and fear we are or have been).

I hope that this movie is picked up and at least given a DVD release. Future generations can learn a lot from it about how 9/11 threw us all off balance and changed the world forever.
