a private war

Follow us at: Facebook.com/APrivateWar Twitter.com/APrivateWar Instagram.com/APrivateWar In a world where journalism is under attack, Marie Colvin (Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time. Colvin is an utterly fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the frontlines of conflicts across the globe to give voice to the voiceless, while constantly testing the limits between bravery and bravado.

POSITIVES…
- This goes out to all journalists and their drive to tell everyone what’s actually happening in the world.
- Dramatic. Emotional. Inspirational.
- Rosamund Pike’s intense acting as Marie Colvin is mesmerizing to watch. Amazing work!
- As a psychological character study of Colvin, this movie is spectacular.
- I appreciated it’s raw depiction of the devastating human tragedies in war torn lands.

NEGATIVES…
- Some might say that the movie hits us over the head a little too much with it’s themes.
- The movie can be accused of retreading one or two topics excessively throughout the narrative, to the point where it might feel too repetitive.
- Also might be too slow moving for some people.
