Solid historical drama finds Steven Spielberg in serious, awards-trawling mode. Tale of noble, principled people working in the media who find themselves under scurrilous attack from hostile and mendacious president makes you glad you're not living in the 70s; good job this sort of thing couldn't happen nowadays.

Script does a good job of turning a potentially wordy story - various journalists, lawyers, and executives stand around discussing the ethics of publishing news - into a genuinely gripping drama, well performed by Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Perhaps just a bit simplistic in its presentation of politicians = bad, journalists = good, but that's essentially the message of the film (did I mention what good reviews it's had in all the papers?).

This is a slow meditative read but that is the skill of McGregor's hypnotic prose. A girl goes missing and the nearby village and it's inhabitants react to the trauma, search the surrounding moors and resevoirs and then absorb the loss in their everyday lives. The absense of drama makes this novel more of a continuing observation, pulling you into the intensity of the local community as time passes. McGregor notices the little things that compose life, the seasons, nature and the thread of unease that haunts the the village as life continues. This has won many awards and it's an outstanding piece of literature, not for any dramatic narrative but in recognition of McGregor's skillfully crafted depiction of life after tragedy.
