A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Aneesa Wardle
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Guillelmina
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Not worth your time, your money, your emotions, your pity, your ability to articulate no matter how diminished. This is a totally subjective view point from a treasonous who espouses more sympathy for those that would destroy us rather than for the same country and system that helped him build his fortune. Hypocrisy at it's best/worst. Guys like Penn should be thankful that the same capitalistic, freedom loving system that he despises allows him him to have that very right. But he is too stupid to get that, or too manipulating. In years and eras gone by they would have tried him for treason or sedition and would have dealt with him in the most severe manner. What scares the most here is that there are those out there-many out there-that take what sewer water that spews out of the mouths of jerks like this and treat it as fact. Much like they did with that bloated self absorbed opportunist Michael Moore. Cmon hard core left, wake up-realize things aren't all bad and treat people based on fact and not well oiled innuendo and propaganda.

If we leave out all the politics (for so far there is), and look at the movie in an artistic way...then we can only say it is going bad with the film industry. What did they try to bring here...and why should a movie like this being banned in the US ? What is bad in that movie that can harm anybody ? ...the only bad thing is the whole movie...doesn't really make sense, doesn't bring a lot of emotions with it, except then the life images of the WTC which make you think about what went trough there heads when it all happened. Did they really had to spend that much money for a poor result like that ? Can't believe this movie gets a ratting like that...not worth looking at... Maybe i should get into filming !

A great idea: 11 stories about 11 September. 11 directors from different countries with different results. Ken Loach talking about an immigrant (as usual) is just brilliant (as usual). The Frenchman does a very good job also, while the Burkina Faso film was a nice surprise. However, the Israel film was a bit boring, and the Mexican guy, well, he should quit directing and work in a Mexican restaurant. 8/10

Take one of the most culturally and globally defining events, give 11 directors the opportunity to make a film interpretation of the event, and you have 11'09"01 September 11. After seeing the film once, I am ready to see it again. Each short is incredible...they each interpret the horrific events of 9/11 uniquely. Each short, from the very first one from Iran to the Japanese short caused me to think about that day in a new light. It is brilliantly done, as each piece is separated by an introduction of the director and country, and each piece really stands alone. The shorts really send the viewer on a roller coaster, from the almost comical short of five African boys' search for Osama bin Laden in their hometown, to the intense short from the Mexican director using predominately the sounds of 9/11. I, who rarely is touched emotionally and spiritually by films, felt the impact of these films not only in my head, but in my heart and soul. This film is extremely intense: some of the ideas depicted are very controversial, and some of the sights and images are somewhat graphic, but I recommend this film to anyone, it is a spectacular documentary of the world today, not just a tribute to 9/11.
