Brutally honest. Bravo!
War reporter Marie Calvin covered many conflicts up close: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria. This film is about her fascinating story and Rosamund Pike delivers an outstanding performance as Calvin. The film captures the reporting in war zones extremely well, with all the chaos, brutality, stress, despair and abandon. We experience all those through Calvin's eyes and how these traumatic events affected her personally.
Not an easy film to watch because of the subject matter, but a great film.
