Everything about the movie is thrilling and flawless.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 28, 2024

Like John Updike, Chayevsky and Lumet are here giving us Memories of the Ford Administration -- only they weren’t memories at the time. This was America as it was happening, suicidal ideations born of a scotch hangover, beamed live into every home.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 26, 2024

The film looks negligently made; the lighting bleaches the actors' faces, like color 온라인카지노추천 that needs tuning, and the New York views outside feel like blown-up photographs.

No performance is less than brilliant, with Dunaway particularly effective in the film's showiest role. Holden, Finch and Duvall, as always, contribute bed-rock-solid performances.

This tale of a failing network that feeds on the mental breakdown of one of its anchors, cannibalising itself for ratings, feels as savagely relevant now as it did when it was released nearly 40 years ago.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 27, 2015

The plot that Paddy Chayefsky has concocted to prove this point is so crazily preposterous that even in post-Watergate America -- where we know that bats can get loose in the corridors of power -- it is just impossible to accept.

The film's never been more timely.

| Original Score: A | Feb 17, 2011

Chayefsky was apparently serious about much of this shrill, self-important 1976 satire about television, interlaced with bile about radicals and pushy career women, and so were some critics at the time.

Slick, 'adult', self-congratulatory, and almost entirely hollow.

Network can be faulted both for going too far and not far enough, but it's also something that very few commercial films are these days. It's alive.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 20, 2003

This is a bawdy, stops-out, no-holds-barred story of a 온라인카지노추천 network that will, quite literally, do anything to get an audience.

So the movie's flawed... That finally doesn't bother me, because what it does accomplish is done so well, is seen so sharply, is presented so unforgivingly, that Network will outlive a lot of tidier movies.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Prescient and sharply drawn

| Jan 1, 2000

The greatest screenplay ever to remain undestroyed by Hollywood.

| Jan 1, 2000

A very black comedy.
