Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic The Network, though, makes a powerful case that, whatever its limitations, a free media, in the form of Sesame Street, cop dramas, travel shows, or women dancing without headscarves, is vital if Afghanistan is ever to know peace. Oct 8, 2013 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Feels a bit too cloistered and the subject perhaps too limited for feature-length attention. Rated: 2/5 Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Although at times resembling a promotional video, this documentary provides a vivid illustration of Afghanistan's changing social dynamics. Sep 30, 2013 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Marginally insightful and incomplete while lacking in additional perspectives. Rated: 5.5/10 Nov 4, 2013 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics Non-reality TV finds a place in war-torn Afghanistan in this insightful slice of life of the fledgling broadcast industry. Rated: 7/10 Oct 19, 2013 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com Orner exhibits a deep and sincere passion for her surrogate subjects and what she clearly believes to be the balm of this unique 'edu-tainment,' a fact which helps offset a somewhat jumbled editorial vision.
