Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Ruminations upon the fate of young men forced to the frontline by harsh economics serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing price of this conflict, with irregular pay, substandard supplies and the spectre of death an everyday reality. Rated: 3/5 Nov 15, 2015 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies A troubling treatise on the human aspect of warfare. Rated: 4/5 Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Unfortunately, although it conveys plenty of the tedium of soldiering, there's little of the drama that I assume it also features. Rated: 2/5 Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Phil W. Bayles One Room With A View Tell Spring is an angrier yet wearier documentary than most. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2019 Full Review Lucy Popescu CineVue Farouky captures the beauty of the landscape, despite the ravages of war, and he recognizes the importance of the small moments that linger with you. Rated: 4/5 Apr 8, 2019 Full Review James Mottram The List Don't miss. Rated: 4/5 Nov 9, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Documentary will show Afghan Soldiers, barely trained trying to fight the Taliban without US soldiers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Distressing / deeply insightful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 10/27/15 Netflix A really interesting look at the situation in Afghanistan from their soldiers point of view after we have left. Somethings are universal such as who does the fighting and dying, how corrupt the politicians are and how ineffective the senior leadership is. That is a broken country that might never be safe or well governed. A sad situation given the blood and treasure so many people and countries have given. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I hope this film is shown throughout Afghanistan so all can see the dilemma of trying to protect one's country when the enemy is people you know. This film establishes the fact that the US, UK, AUS, NZ, etc., didn't do Aftghanis any favours by coming in, messing up the country and leaving an untrained bunch of youngsters to the hands of the Taliban.
