Buzz is building on Burns’ movie. “The Report” was praised by critics back in January at Sundance, I was a fan, writing that it was “a brutal and unforgiving journey into the deepest pits of governmental corruption.” Knowing what’s going on right now with the FBI/CIA abuses being uncovered, I would think this is a fairly relevant movie to watch, especially a few months from now … Here’s the official synopsis from Sundance: “Senate staffer Daniel Jones (Adam Driver) is assigned the daunting task of leading an investigation into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program. After analyzing extensive evidence, he learns about the “enhanced interrogation techniques”—proven to be brutal, immoral, and ineffective—that the CIA adopted after 9/11. When Jones and the Senate Intelligence Committee attempt to release the results from his investigation, however, the CIA and White House go to great lengths to prevent the truth from getting out.” It does look like there will be bows at TIFF and Telluride for “The Report,” and then amazon will take over, hoping it won’t be swept up into the oblivion and chaotic fervor of the Oscar season months. “The Report” could still make a mark, it’s as relevant as any movie likely to be released this year. We now have a trailer. Contribute Hire me
