Heineman establishes himself as a master at capturing the heightened sensations and hair-trigger reactions of men and women caught in crises. He knows how to position the camera so that we comprehend what occurs in murky, jeopardy-filled situations, then experience the ensuing attacks as if they’re happening to us.

In the press notes for his first narrative feature, “A Private War,” the nonfiction filmmaker Matthew Heineman states that he didn’t want to make this gently fictionalized portrait of the war correspondent Marie Colvin into a biopic. And he hasn’t: what he has made is a deeply distressing, authentically moving psychological study of unswerving obsession.

Colvin’s mythical persona has been deftly transposed to the screen from a Vanity Fair article by Marie Brenner titled “Marie Colvin’s Private War.” Adapted by eclectic screenwriter Arash Amel (“Grace of Monaco”), the result is a stunningly moving, yet never mawkish.
