A Private War
Duty For Reporting
Official Site | Trailers & Mo
R | 106 min
Journalist Marie Colvin went to some hellish places and lived to report about it, until her luck ran out. Matthew Heineman‘s biopic about her – A Private War – starring Rosamund Pike as the fearless writer – shows us where she went and what she did, but we never really get a real sense of her or her work and why it was so vital. Bombs go boom. She loses an eye. She drinks heavily. She wins awards. She drinks more. She’s a mess. And yes she keeps going into the arms of danger to let the world know about other atrocities. Bombs continue to go boom and the rest of the cycle in the movie keeps going on and on. It’s not until the very end where we hear her reporting from the field, in a call into Anderson Cooper on CNN, that you start to appreciate and feel for her, her work, and her struggle. Everything else that came before that just felt like a struggle to watchÂ
