Movie Haiku:Well-intentioned, timely drama. A photojournalist (Keener) is just back from a traumatic assignment in Libya, but it takes way too long to figure out who she is, where she is, & how she finds herself in her current predicament. Film asks critical questions, but the filmmakers fail to fully utilize their enormously talented cast members.
