Reviews
“A fantastic documentary about a talent competition in a country where you would never dream such a thing is possible.”
–Oprah Winfrey
“Wonderful movie!... takes us somewhere few movies have.... The sense of hope and danger is more palpable here than in any other movie I've seen at Sundance, and the film's hard-won good vibes had the audience cheering.”
–Ty Burr, Boston Globe/Movie Nation
“An informed and entertaining dispatch about the collision of culture, ideology and history that ultimately suggests a darker, more rueful Afghani Slumdog Millionaire.”
–Screen International
“A documentary every bit as exciting and heartfelt as reality TV hits American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent introduces new stars and their amazing stories, and also pulls back the curtain on a much maligned country, Afghanistan.”
–Steve Ramos, Box Office Magazine
“An inspirational look at a culture slowly thawing from decades of oppressive rule.”
–Robert Levin, AM New York
“A documentary every bit as exciting and heartfelt as reality TV hits American Idol and Britain's Got Talent.”
–Steve Ramos, Box Office Magazine
“Absorbing”
–The Huffington Post
