Preview: Redacted (2007)

• Poster: B+

Review:

Using the blacked out text in a governmental report to allow the image of a child bleed through from the background is a clever ploy. The colors, however, don't work well together and hurt the poster more than help it.

• Trailer: A-

Review:

Knowing a little about the story and listening to the disembodied dialogue gives you a sense of curiosity. While I'm not a fan of critical praise/film festival logos peppering most trailers, this one uses them more effectively than I would have imagined.

Oscar Prospects:

This film will be redacted from the Oscar telecast because it's too controversial.

Release Date:

• November 16, 2007
