Best Movie Ive seen in ages. It is a truly quote classic feminist unquote movie. I just made that phrase up. If I could figure out how to put real quotation marks around that, on this unfamiliar keyboard, I would. Tina Fey is perfect. So are the other actors. The direction and editing is amazing -- subtle, intelligent, nuanced (even taking into account a few forgivable continuity goofs. We all know only Allah is perfect. The sound track is unbelievably great.
I bought this as a dvd at a flea market and Ive watched it many times.
Forgive me if i sound a bit over the top, but I was learning to be a femiist in the late 60s, and i love this story. I dont uderstand why it isnt better known.
p.s.: I happened to be rereading Greg Mortensons books when I picked up this movie, not knowing they covered exactly the same time frame in the same area of Northern Afghanistan. Did your writers read those books before making the movie. The specific facts are the same.
Congratulations.
Make more movies

outstanding film. Wonderful concept, great script and riveting to follow the nature of war journalism, tastefully eased by the humor of one of our greatest, Tina Fey. For those of you rating low because "the action isn't t that good" go watch some CG tranformers flick. This film's way more.

Did not like it as much as most movies . Too much sexual references and foul language. At times, the film dragged . At least,
it was a realistic portrayal of being a women journalist in an hostile
environment. A few funny moments. No where as good as American
Sniper, Lone Survivor, or Zero Dark Thirty.

Three oldies (60+) went to this movie not expecting much (based on reading luke-warm reviews). Boy did we get lucky. This movie was a real treat and Tina Fey was wonderful.
