EW Review of Zero Dark Thirty: "Torture Worked"
Contra Spencer Ackerman, Owen Gleiberman, film reviewer for Entertainment Weekly, writes:
Part of the power of Zero Dark Thirty is that it looks with disturbing clarity at the ''enhanced interrogation techniques'' that were used after 9/11, and it says, in no uncertain terms: They worked.
As Andrew Sullivan notes, this is simply false, and is a huge moral problem for Kathryn Bigelow. She has to stand up now, it seems to me, and refute this conclusion about her film.
