Situation, The

Aroview: A noted fictional dramatisation of the Iraq conflict and its many complex participants and victims, this film interweaves a love triangle with military scandal around an American photojournalist, based on real-life writer and correspondent Wendell Stevenson.

Capturing the chaotic feel of the conflict with frequent digressions and sub-plots, the messy, disturbing tone may be alienating for some, though it manages to successfully humanise the drama and benefits from the first-hand knowledge of those involved in the project.
