"Bataille à Seattle; I exegersi; Battle in Seattle" has some of the same treatment as Paul Haggis' "Crash" - avoiding the stylized and didactic narrative tools when it comes to broad political themes , as well as eschewing disgusting affectation and squeamishness.
"Bataille à Seattle; I exegersi; Battle in Seattle" is much better than "Bobby", which is also a group show, and can be compared with "Flight 93". The film effectively weaves together source material and fiction about the riot. The theatrical streak is heavy, but the approach succeeds thanks to a strong cast.
The film does not convince the audience with the political significance and factual comments of the incident, but infects the audience with the impact of the plot, which is very rare in films that show the theme of political activities.
