Featured reviews
This film was a huge disappointment. It had potential to be funny and yet completely missed its mark. The writers were apparently asleep at the keyboard. They let down the actors and the viewers.
I loved this movie. The scary part is that it is both totally unreal and totally possible. Fake news at its best.
While this is a comedy, this is a very straight up thruth.
Media plays an immense amount of how things are percieved and especially during crisis such as a war or flood or some natural disaster.
The right photo, the right editing, the right video or sound clip can start or stop fights, wars or communication in all sorts.
Very well done and for those that marked this as a boring or uninteresting movie, they surely don't understand how real this is.
A good publicist can get attention...a great publicist can start and end wars.

Kudos to Tim Price and Raid Sabbah. This a great piece of British, low key humour. I guess if you don't get the humour as a guy, you were too busy wanting to see guns and cleavage. As a woman, it's clear this movie is held down by two beautiful women (Katherine Parkinson and Lily Newmark).
This movie was well written, VERY funny even though the jokes are subtle. Acting is at a high level, it's not the best movie of the year, but possibly the best budget movie of the year. Ultimately I think this movie is closet satire, happy to laugh at everything including it's own production levels. It's sincere, and it's worth keeping an open mind to anything these writers are working on...
When was the war a comedy? Dozens of Georgian civilians died in 2008, Russo-Georgian war, and dozen Georgians had to flee their homes.
Movie is a lowest of lowest.
