Preview: Trouble the Water (2008)

• Poster: B

Review:

Simple, but evocative, the American flag floating away on flooded waters fits perfectly with the tone of the documentary.

• Trailer: B

Review:

It's not rousing or exciting, but it's non-fiction, which makes the few images we see disconcerting. Should make for an interesting experiencer's eye view of the Katrina disaster.

Oscar Prospects:

This is another topical film that could earn Oscar attention. But with so many on the books already, it's hard to pick five, better yet one.

Release Date:

• August 22, 2008
