The War Show Ratings & Reviews
The Playlist
Gary Garrison
At its best it is a deeply personal story of hope, love, friendship, and the loss of everything and everyone.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
In a sense, the rambling nature of the documentary matches the subjects' desperate attempt at attaining some sense of routine-they've come to rely on each other to stay sane, only to lose those closest to them for the most senseless of reasons.
indieWire
Steve Greene
[It] shows the fundamental change in the status quo.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
The style shifts, from home movie to documentary, which is appropriate; Zytoon herself goes from participant to observer.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
A deeply affecting documentary of the Syrian conflict told from the standpoint of a former radio DJ and her friends.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Uneven but frequently fascinating.

Jordan M. Smith
With a dreamy sense of living in the moment ... The War Show reminds us that there are indeed living, breathing, and loving individuals just trying their best to endure this war-torn time period in their homeland.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Joule Zelman
Though the horror is judiciously spaced out, it's upsetting enough that any attempt to find hope feels false. Yet one can't begrudge the refugee filmmaker's belief that 'the destiny of the people is to survive.'
POV Magazine
Jason Gorber
As both testimony and memorial, The War Show provides a voice for those no longer with us, showcasing that spark of optimism that's still fostering in Syria while darker forces move in to co-opt the movement.
