Full Plot Details

2003. After careful consideration, Kim Baker, a news copywriter, decides to leave the relative comfort of a New York desk job and serious boyfriend Chris to accept the assignment to work for three months as on-camera reporter in war torn Afghanistan, as her news agency is looking for anyone within their ranks to fill immediately the empty voids overseas. Her only experience of being in such an environment is going through hostile zone training a few years earlier. Immediately upon her arrival in Afghanistan, she realizes that she is ill-prepared emotionally for this assignment, not only enduring the dangers of the war itself, but also the conditions of everyday life, including largely been seen by men as only a "piece of ass" and a distraction despite her being considered average looking back home and not being overtly sexual, and being an individual with a small bladder who is nonetheless told to stay hydrated at all times. She is largely assisted in navigating this new life by Tanya Vanderpoel, a fellow female western correspondent, and Fahim Ahmadzai, her Afghan translator guide. As time goes on, Kim finds that she not only may have a specific and important voice within the press corps, but that she may be losing touch with her life back in the States for good or bad. In addition, she will have to decide how much she is willing to risk, not only for herself but that for her colleagues, to get that next important story. She also has to figure out how much of what she does truly is her, and how much is being as she and the other western press corps members state is being in the "Kabubble". What may also affect her life is how much the war in Afghanistan is overtaken by other world events for which the American public is wanting information, and thus if Afghanistan has a specific time span in her life regardless of how much she may want to stay to tell what she sees as its important stories.

Movie Reviews

CinemaDope - 10/10 by Glenn Lovell... mix of scattershot humor, battlefield carnage and sentimentality makes us pine for a full-on satire of gonzo war correspondents. Think Joker in third act of Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket.'
Assignment X - 9/10 by Abbie BernsteinWhiskey Tango Foxtrot is sometimes entertaining, sometimes annoying, and sometimes does make us think. Even so, it's just not as deep as it wants or needs to be to hit home.
Bowling Green Daily News - 9/10 by Micheal ComptonFey shows she can shine in her serious side. Her performance really works, allowing some of her trademark wit to come through but also providing a challenge out of her typical comfort zone.
Fresh Fiction - 9/10 by James ClayBesides the on-camera talent, the biggest success comes in bite-sized moments between the reporters and the fact that we all as humans have the uncharted ability to adapt.
Consequence of Sound - 9/10 by Blake GobleFey delivers the performance like the super-capable talent she is, with range and authenticity. She’s a character with a fully expressed arc, foibles and all. She’s the dramedy’s best weapon.
The Nation - 9/10 by Stuart KlawansWhiskey Tango Foxtrot treats the war as if it were a geographic feature of Afghanistan, where nature has set forth mountains, deserts, and chaotic bloodshed.
Vanity Fair - 9/10 by Richard LawsonA small, syncopated movie that immerses, even if it offers only a glance.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeThe acting is universally excellent, particularly Fey, who’s shrewdly fulfilling our expectations while playing off them.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin CovertTina Fey, the film's producer and star, keeps getting better and better in each of those positions. Here she hits a new high mark in both.
Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) - 9/10 by Pamela PowellThe film not only entertains us, but stimulates questions about journalistic integrity in foreign countries, about politics and about women's perceptions and rights.
