It got a rave review in The New Yorker. I will certainly see it.

I thought that was the "Kiss of Death"?

My acid test is whether *both* The New Yorker and The Wall Street
Journal* rave about the film. Here's Joe Morgenstern in the WSJ today:

"Never has an audience brought to a motion picture what we bring to
"United 93" -- a sense of dread caused by an open national wound. We
are vulnerable to the formidable force of Paul Greengrass's
documentary-style drama from its first quiet moments, in the dawn of
September 11, 2001, and its first hushed words, spoken in Arabic by
one of the hijackers: "It's time." Each of us will decide for
ourselves whether it's time to see such a film, time to risk more pain
against the possibility of some catharsis, or at least some useful
vision of the events of that day. If the answer is yes, then this film
is well worth the risk. It's an anguishing, literally spellbinding
vision of what happened on the ground as the twin towers of the World
Trade Center were struck, and in the cockpit and cabin of the airliner
that was diverted, by a passenger revolt, from its flight path to the
U.S. Capitol."

There's more, of course, but I don't feel easy posting the whole
thing.
