... striking thriller.

The film allows us, in the company of Book, to take a sort of holiday from our normal concerns, to visit other values en touriste , drawing the strengths from a strange and alien tradition without really immersing ourselves in it.

What saves "Witness" is its cast, and Weir's artistry in orchestrating and modulating their performances.
