A Major Disappointment

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Views expressed in this film of course include Omar himself, his lawyer, his interrogators and even his captor's statements are included.What I liked too was that the incredible amount of nonsense spoken by so many people who know absolutely nothing about this case was kept to a minimum.Demonstrated time and again was the enormous compassion and patience of his lawyer against such insurmountable obstacles. Very interesting too is the change of attitude many individuals have had who were looking at Omar from the other side of the bars and a self examination of themselves in the years afterwards.Well done.Thank you for bringing it to tiff.Hopefully one day soon Omar will be able to bask in the warm waves of emotion generated from this film.I wish that millions of Canadians can see it before the upcoming election.
