Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 8/10 by David JenkinsA troubling treatise on the human aspect of warfare.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawTell Spring Not to Come This Year has urgency and power.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Mark KermodeRuminations 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.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by David ParkinsonThe camaraderie and courage on display is humblingly affecting.
Time Out - 6/10 by Tom HuddlestonMore a lament than a straightforward narrative.
Times (UK) - 4/10 by Ed PottonUnfortunately, although it conveys plenty of the tedium of soldiering, there's little of the drama that I assume it also features.
User Review - 8/10 by Rhonda BDocumentary will show Afghan Soldiers, barely trained trying to fight the Taliban without US soldiers.
User Review - 8/10 by Reza M10/27/15 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.
User Review - 8/10 by Julie BI 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.
