The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This is one of my favorite Tina Fey movies since it shows her acting range and isn't just a comedy. It is more of a drama than a comedy since it is about War Journalism, and is both "light" and "heavy" at the same time. I have watched it a few times and look forward to watching it again fairly soon.

I stopped watching Saturday Night Live long before Tina Fey joined the cast, so I was almost completely unfamiliar with her when I read her book Bossypants a couple of months ago. That book made me a fan of her great intelligence and humor. This movie added to my appreciation, to the point where I can say, in a non-obsessive fandom sort of way, I love Tina Fey. This film blew me away. Her presentation of her character's personal and professional evolution was outstanding. I also was very impressed by Billy Bob Thornton and good old Alfred Molina--one of our best character actors, whom I did not recognize until almost the end of the film--as well as Martin Freeman and Margot Robbie.The movie was so realistic that I thought they'd actually filmed in Asia. I was amazed that most of it was filmed in New Mexico. To borrow the vernacular of the script, this is a great movie, or maybe a fucking great movie. I loved it.

I have given this a rating of 1 in order to leave a review however even a score of one is unworthy for this poorly played out film. This film portrays journalism and armed forces as drug using, sex addicted simpletons. We found this highly offensive given the fact that we have lost family members to war and know that they never took drugs or went to war to take part in wild sex orgy's. It makes a complete mockery and disgrace of any of the armed forces worldwide. If you are looking for a factual true to life film about journalism in Afghanistan then I would highly recommend city of ghosts, if you are looking for a film that documents true events of soldiers giving their lives to protect their countries then give Hacksaw Ridge a watch you won't be disappointed. I would rate them both 10/10 for their true to life depictions of war from either side. If you are someone who has lost a family member to war I would not recommend watching this messed up attempt at showing the life of soldiers or journalists who are out there facing conflict in these war torn countries.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has been on my watch list since I first saw the trailer, but for whatever reason, every time I had a chance to watch it, I didn't. Maybe I worried it'd be too cheesy. Tina Fey can be a mixed bag for me. So much talent, so much intelligence, but sometimes she's too over the top. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this film exceeded my expectations. It was nice to see Tina Fey in a more dramatic, subtle role, yet still with her trademark awkwardness. Martin Freeman was outside his usual realm of serious, thoughtful characters, taking a turn for a more carefree, rakish, charming photographer. Margot Robbie stole her scenes, as usual. Billy Bob Thornton was perfectly cast. The writing was nuanced, somehow managing to be about the war, yet also these reporters, yet also about friendship, and yet also about our heroine. Very surprised by how great this was. Will definitely watch again.
