Leave your thoughts about The Network.
| VarietyJoe Leydon[An] illuminating documentary about the founding and influence of Tolo TV, the first independent television station to operate in Afghanistan. |
| The DissolveNick SchagerA heartening but tempered portrait of the media’s ability to effect social change. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderOverall, The Network is uneven and unfocused, but not without merit. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonNon-reality TV finds a place in war-torn Afghanistan in this insightful slice of life of the fledgling broadcast industry. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonOrner 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. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferMarginally insightful and incomplete while lacking in additional perspectives. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldThough heavy with interviews that can be shallow, the movie provides an angle on a country remaking itself after Taliban rule. |
| Village VoiceJohn OurslerRather than investigating the harrowing circumstances surrounding each day's broadcast, Orner is content to let each inspiring aspect of the network speak for itself. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe film's overall presentation...feels a bit too cloistered and the subject perhaps too limited for feature-length attention. |
| The AtlanticNoah BerlatskyThe 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. |
