Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Winterbottom's war drama follows a British journalist trying to rescue a child from the besieged city. Raw and urgent, with Stephen Dillane and archive footage mixed in, it is a stark, angry account of a siege.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
