Description

This week, let’s get angry – but not in the way the movie wants – with Robert Redford’s 2007 political drama Lions For Lambs! Does Redford have a directorial style? Is there depth and nuance to the arguments made in the film? Is Andrew Garfield cuter than Michael Peña?

Content warning: gun violence, military violence, death

Unanswered Questions:

• Does the movie have anything to say about hypocrisy?
• Should the structure of the movie be more emphatic, or less?
• Is the film’s treatment of race conscious and satirical, or not?
