Some biopics have to stretch out the material they're based on to get enough for a movie. Others, like this, feel like they could have given you much, much more. I knew bits and pieces about Marie Colvin, but not much beyond that. In this overview of her more famous reporting years, you get little bites of her and her work, but I found myself often craving a bit more. In an era of bloated runtimes, it may sound odd to ask for it, but I would have been just fine with another 30-40 minutes to get some more depth, context, and background on the various time periods covered. Rosamund Pike and Jamie Dornan are both quite good in their roles, and the supporting cast is fine, but feel a bit one-note at times. In a time when reporters are reviled by a subset of society that think they're all hacks making up "fake news", it's good to watch something that reminds you that they're often truth seekers and explorers who want to discover what is hidden or unknown.
