Movie Haiku:Excellent depiction of a 2-career couple personally & professionally derailed by office power play @ the highest levels. But given the actual damage inflicted @ micro/macro levels in the Plame/Wilson affair, one can only despair. Jan says "This is NOT a doc," but Rich says Andrews'''''''' malevolence as "Scooter Libby" plus use of actual news feed makes film too ideological. Shout-Out to Liraz Charhi from TURN LEFT as Dr. Zahraa.
