 | | Paul Greengrass writes and directs Bloody Sunday as a summary of approximately 12 hours in the history of the town of Derry, specifically the day of a Civil Rights march that explodes into violence, not so much by the demonstrators as by an overzealous military force sent to keep the event from becoming violent. |
 | | As a film, Bloody Sunday is a daring exploration of style for narrative, though one wonders how much of its style is dictated by budget. |
 | | Alternating between the march organizer, a young marcher, several soldiers, the British military command center, the march and subsequent rally, the events unfold in a stop-and-start method that cannot contain their tragedy, separating each moment as if any could have been the turning point, the moment when this event could have been avoided. |
