Terry George is a Northern Irish director and screenwriter. He co-wrote the screenplay for In the Name of the Father. He wrote and directed Hotel Rwanda (2004) and directed Reservation Road (2007). He wrote and directed the short film The Shore, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

DeBaser reviews treat Terry George as a director concerned with political and moral topics. Hotel Rwanda is described as necessary despite not being stylistically lavish. Reservation Road is framed as an emotional drama about grief and guilt, not a thriller. Both reviews praise George's focus on ethical complexity.

For:fans of political and historical cinema, film students, human-rights minded viewers

 "Hotel Rwanda" is a 2004 film. It is not interesting, the good is good and the bad is bad; it is not stylistically compelling; it doesn't intrigue with characters; it doesn't have a narrative structure that keeps you there, drooling without closing your eyes even for a second. It is not beautiful, at least I would not call it beautiful, but it is necessary.

 Almost none of what can be defined as a thriller is present in "Reservation Road," while on the contrary, it stands as one of the most successful films on this subject, akin to "The Crossing Guard" by Sean Penn and the recent "Rabbit Hole" by John Cameron Mitchell.
