The Stranger

(FILM) Iraq in Fragments is the best movie made yet about the Iraq war, and it's likely to remain so, given the current security situation there. It's beautiful and painful—delicately observed and viscerally intense. We gave local filmmaker James Longley a Genius Award, and he continues to rack up laurels from Sundance to Thessaloniki and beyond. So why's the movie only playing in his hometown for a week? Buy your tickets early and often, and make Iraq in Fragments the surprise hit it deserves to be. (Varsity Theatre, 4329 University Way NE, 781-5755. See Movie Times.) by Annie Wagner
