I will not engage on the historical fallacies of the movie, in spite of being Canadian. There's enough about that already.

In fact, all of this polemics hides the fight that it's a pretty average movie right there. Sure, it was well-directed, well-acted, well-shot etc - you know, Hollywood at its best, but the history had no twist, and the suspense (represented by the apparation of women dressed in black) was minimal. It wasn't stylish and reeked of Islamophobia. In fact, the "Argo" movie they used as a pretext looked miles more interesting. Now that's a movie I would want to see.

And yes, there's a couple of nice scenes here and there, but this could easily have been a direct-to-TV film - I just don't see what the hype is about. It won Oscars? Seriously?
