“The previous reviewer obviously didnu0026#39;t know that this is a true story. The specific victims were fictionalized, but the overall story of what was happening and what Rachel Wieszu0026#39;s character went through are true. They are not a contrived, or u0026quot;genericu0026quot; u0026quot;CSIu0026quot; story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat said, as a movie, Whistleblower delivers in telling about this difficultand important event. Some of the scenes were hard to watch, but, as the director mentioned at the Qu0026amp;A after the screening I saw, it was just scratching the surface of what was going on. Vanessa Redgraveu0026#39;s character, though her scenes were relatively brief, really shined. I appreciated that the cinematography didnu0026#39;t involve any fancy styles or overly dramatic music. The director let the impact of the story itself, and Rachel Wieszu0026#39;s fine acting, carry the movie.”
