Review of Omagh

Omagh (2004 TV Movie)
10/10
Gripping, Important Tale that Shouldn't Be Forgotten
26 February 2006
This movie caught me up from the first few minutes til the last. I completely agree with the reviewers who praise its understated and authentic feel and don't agree at all with the person(s) who thought it was "jerky" and "obvious." It was extremely well done, humane and engaging. And to the reviewer who said we, in the United States, don't get to see such important fare b/c our news media keeps recycling the same story ad nauseum, AMEN. But it is not only our news media, but the fact that hardly any movie audience in America could or would sit through such an un-Hollywood like movie, without any soundtrack, FOR GAWD's SAKE, that also keeps us stupid and uninformed. Luckily, I can afford to have Dish Network and was able to see this unexpected gem on the Sundance channel. To all others, please see it some way or other.
