4/5

A fascinating portrait of municipal and private interests trying to make headway in the charged atmosphere of devastating personal loss and wounded national pride.

B+

A vital and in certain ways even cathartic documentary. It's a story about ego and hubris, yes, but also the better angels of our nature.

A strong slap in the face documentary. Sometimes when there's money in the middle, all the rest goes second place. Step-by-step, moments in the big apple reconstruction time
