United 93 (2006)

Given an astounding 10/10 by almost every British newspaper and therefore bumped up my watch list. Not quite that good, but pretty damn close. I felt a tremendous cloud of dread over me as soon as the BBFC certificate disappeared. That morphed into a pair of very tense shoulders for the second half. Extremely well-handled. Like Peter Bradshaw I did want to sit down in a dark room afterwards. Except technically I’d already been doing that for two hours….

4/5
