Say Nothing (about the Troubles in Northern Ireland)
I really enjoyed it. As an Irish person, I was concerned that it glorified terrorism in a way, but I think by the time it concludes, it's pretty balanced, if not all accurate. There has to be some allowance for artistic licence.
I think it's particularly poignant in the view of the current genocide in Gaza. Is Israel going to be surprised when they are subject to terrorism for decades even if some kind of peace is realised.
I think Say Nothing does well to show the heartbreak for those that lost family of the perpetrators get away with it. However, of they are to be held to account, it is in their interest to not reveal their story of what happened. It makes these sealed interviews seem like a good idea for historical purposes at least.
Maxine peake is great in this and pretty much everything she does.
It's on Disney+ where I am
