Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's moving HBO documentary Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing, produced with help from the Boston Globe, can be viewed as a thoughtful study of the lessons of magnitude.

Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing has many rewards, disjointed though they may be.

For intimate narratives that are about incomplete or in-progress healing, and the elements of lives that are changed forever, the approach can feel too tidy.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

The film surprisingly spends a good deal of time exploring the gradual recovery of people who lost limbs in the attack.

It's [Patrick Downes' and Jessica Kensky's] story, still so unresolved, that hits home the hardest.

As directed by Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg, Marathon benefits from the filmmakers clear-eyed, meticulous chronology of the events and their steady focus on the survivors.
