Storm is the story of one woman's search for justice in the Bosnian-Muslim conflict, and her realization that it may never come. Essentially a movie-length courtroom drama, Hannah Maynard is a prosecutor for the Hague who loses her top witness to suicide. But the politics fall flat in the dialogue, as Nicolas Rapold of the Village Voice points out: "for something staked on being "dialogue-driven" (until the witness intimidation, walking out of meetings is the movie's violence), the writing by director Hans-Christian Schmid (Requiem) and Bernd Lange is more stilted and righteous than even the U.N. environs, with its humanity-embracing procedural-speak, calls for." Ouch.
