5	Very timely showing of this film! Utterly compelling! A real insight into how news is broadcast, pressures on journalists - torn between reporting news & sensitivities of the time. Also interesting insight into German position at the time.

5	Tense & utterly compelling from start to finish.
5	Powerful and emotional. I have family in Israel.

5	Sober.
5	Great film - thanks!
5	Gripping. A little trouble understanding what was being said by American actors.
5	Compelling!
5	Very gripping - real life drama.
5	V atmospheric & gripping.
5	Fine film. Great sense of how broadcasting was in 1970s.
5	Absolutely stunning - kept the audience interest & attention. Portrayed the situation so vividly.
5	Brilliant, just moving film. Awful to think the events are still going on now.
5	It proves not a lot has happened in over 50 years.
5	A gripping, thought provoking film in many ways. It was particularly interesting the German view of it.
5	I was reluctant to see this but how wrong I was. A compelling and extremely well made film. Unforgettable.
5	A fascinating insight behind the scenes of a TV production crew at a momentous period in history. I was enthralled throughout. Edge of the seat stuff.
5	Pity the sound was not good but understandable because it was an older film. Also ridiculously small white subtitles that did not give you time to read.
5	An absolute cracker! Pacy, poignant and powerful, the film took us on the tense roller coaster of breaking news.
5	Fantastic! Great pace and suspense throughout and well shot and acted. More like this please!
5	A good film - I like it. But I thought it might have been better if it had been made in a less claustrophobic style.
5	Good film. What has changed. Not too stressful as we watched it through the eyes of the TV.
5	Great film. Mood & tension ratcheted up well. A real tale of ingenuity, at problem solving, coupled with ambition overtaking morality - almost. Seems quaint in today's Trump-led world to need 2 sources to corroborate.
5	Fascinating. Having been a Victory Ceremonies Flag Protocol team leader at our UK London Olympics, the film xxxx with the exception of the film press team, were seriously lacking... Memories, memories. Great story line and acting.
5	The rest of the season will have to be extraordinary to beat that! The editing was so tight, the cinematography amazing, the dialogue and acting so pared down and perfect. An astounding film.

4	Very powerful. Nothing changes! Sound quality was indistinct to a hearing aid wearer.
4	Sound quality wasn't particularly clear at times so lost track of what was going on.
4	At first I thought that 'Oh no, this is not my kind of film'. However, as it progressed I became more immersed in it. I didn't know about the attack so I will now do some research. (Not always easy to understand the dialogue.)
4	An interesting insight into the world of live TV at that time and the ethical dilemmas of getting the facts right vs. getting scoop. The punchline was sobering - 900 million people were watching...
4	Very tense - very memorable! The pressure reporters work under. Very clever that it was made to look like an old film shot in 1972.
4	I would have like to have given this film a '5' as it was gripping & Informative. However I found John Magaro impossible to understand a lot of the time. He may be a good actor but his mumbling/poor diction spoilt this film for me.
4	And history repeats itself, somewhat depressingly. That and the impact of the media on our lives. A very forceful watch, but those Americans mumble their words! Subtitles required... A great choice of movie and a timely reminder of the Israel v Palestine conflict, sadly.

4	Dramatic.
4	Good film.
4	Dramatic. Tense. Historic!
4	Very good acting - story of a big political mess. Remember as was working in Munich at time.
4	Well directed, compelling viewing.
4	Brilliant - Nail biting.
4	Sound a bit suspect but an excellent film with realistic TV studio action.
4	Very thought provoking - well filmed.
4	Very good. Very topical.
4	Thoughtful film, but a reminder that nothing has been learnt over the last half century.
4	A thoughtful analysis of 'doing the right thing' goes horribly wrong.
4	Good to remind us how long this has been going on for & how little has changed.
4	Gripping plot. Exciting portrayal of chaos within reporting team & internal hierarchy. Suitable sadness at conclusion.
4	Excellent. Brings it back. The memorial next day played Beethoven's Egmont Overture.
4	Not what I was expecting. Thought it was going to be a harrowing watch but found it strangely gripping.
4	Having not been born until 1974 myself, I need to go and read up on this. Not what I thought but interesting i.e. how the crew felt.
4	Gripping - questions the use of press/media. Rather hard to hear some passages + too many changes of shot especially at the start.

3	Sound was not good!
3	Intense, thoughtful but I didn't like the ending.
3	Interesting view of a TV crew. Not sure it should have been made.
3	Much too intense for my taste but then couldn't expect anything nicer in view of the occasion. Can we have some more light hearted films, please?
3	Interesting. Not my favourite film though - too much like a documentary.
3	Difficulty in picking up conversation & dialogue. An interesting look behind the scenes of broadcasting and the pressures put upon the crew.
