Ritt's direction is all sweaty close-ups and mismatched shots.

rotten:
The tragedy implied by this character tells us what we need to know about the blacklist's effect on people's lives; the rest of the movie adds almost nothing else.

It recreates the awful noise of ignorance that can still be heard.
