The Valerie Plame, Joseph Wilson Affair, retold from their side, the covert CIA agent unmasked and defamed in retaliation for her husband’s op‑ed critique of the invasion of Iraq. Quite incoherent in its exposition, although because it’s a true and a well-reported story, we know where we’re headed; and quite irritating in its style, with a bleached-out image and a bobbing and weaving camera (director Doug Liman doubling as cinematographer). Confidently, strongly acted by Naomi Watts — “They do not get to take my marriage!” — and a lot of righteous indignation, railing and editorializing, by Sean Penn. With Ty Burrell, Bruce McGill, Brooke Smith, Sam Shepard. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
