Filmmakers from all over the world collaborate in a film that offers differing perspectives on the September 11 terrorist attacks that targeted New York City and the nation's capital in 2001. Sean Penn, Ken Loach, Mira Nair and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are among the 11 directors who contributed to the project, and their short films -- each of which is 11 minutes, nine seconds and one frame of film in length -- reflect on cultural differences, love and personal tragedy.

Unified only by its depressing timidity and a surprising lack of relevance, 11'09"01 is a failure.

Ken Loach's entry aside, this is a self-indulgent bid to wring arthouse kudos from tragedy.

An ungainly, intermittently harrowing omnibus filled with moments of piercing sorrow and rage.

The film presumably suggests that September 11 was a horrifying event which opened people's eyes to various harsh realities.

The most forceful contribution is by Ken Loach.

Seeing September 11 now, five years after its completion, is a reminder not only of the visceral terror from that day, but also of the sense of shared global humanity that flourished briefly in its wake.

Very moving and well-done. Some segments are in foreign languages but one does not need to understand language to feel sympathy for the characters. I kind of think that's the point of the film.
