Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Ratings & Reviews

I thought this movie was really good how it showed the current events and how it took place in Afghanistan. I really enjoyed seeing Margot Robbie in this movie and the reporting that she does in the movie about what is going on in Afghanistan every day. What I enjoyed the most of this movie was seeing the scenes with Margot Robbie. I love seeing Margot Robbie in this movie the most. I would love it if there was a sequel to this movie with the historical events taking place.
Bitch Media
Stephanie Abraham
This Orientalist storyline is not only problematic and unoriginal, it's also dangerous.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
If Whiskey Tango Foxtrot isn't as incisive or as penetrating as it potentially could have been, for a major studio satirical look at the war in Afghanistan there's still plenty of food for thought here.
The Atlantic
Megan Garber
It's a morally messy premise. Afghanistan is not Colin Firth. War is not Love Actually. And that is the problem with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, which is overall a charming comedy about a terrible war.
Associated Press
Sandy Cohen
The film offers a fresh look at the adrenaline-laced lifestyle of war correspondents and a timely criticism of TV news. And it delivers some laughs, too.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's a well-made, thoughtful picture - and a solid showcase for Fey, who comes out of this one looking, for the first time, like an honest-to-goodness movie star.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
As war comedies go, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is no M*A*S*H*, but it still surpasses other recent comedies of this ilk, such as last year's Rock the Kasbah and Our Brand Is Crisis.
The Verge
Tasha Robinson
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a tragic lark, and an enjoyable enough experience. But it winds up feeling like about half a story, and not always the more meaningful or satisfying half.
Vox
Emily St. James
I was mostly on board with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot until its third act, when it completely derails. Kim, confronted with a serious personal crisis, does something that's frankly unbelievable and baffling.
The New Republic
Will Leitch
Tina Fey grounds the movie in something real, something urgent and human, and she nearly single-handedly saves the movie from itself. The movie itself isn't particularly serious, but she sure as hell is.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa move things along fast enough to keep [the problem aspects] from sinking in too deeply, and star Tina Fey holds the spotlight with aplomb.
NPR
Scott Tobias
The laughs are scattered, the emotions are muted, and the politics are largely toothless. Yet it still doesn't take much squinting to see the M*A*S*H that might have been.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
An efficient wartime dramedy about middle-aged restlessness and the bubbles we build to distract ourselves from real life.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Molly Eichel
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot isn't a great movie, but it is something rare and important: a woman's story of self-discovery - having nothing to do with her finding a husband - that has gotten room on the big screen.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Fey gives an impressively sensitive dramatic performance.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
The film ... rests in a tidiness that's at odds with the messiness of the milieu. And even when we are exposed to glimpses of wartime violence and menace, it's undercut by fuzzy platitudes near the end of the film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
If this role isn't remembered as THE signature moment when we came to think of Tina Fey as an award-level dramatic actor as well as an iconic comic force, it's a substantial step in that direction.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A scattered comedy-drama with few laughs and even fewer insights.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie plays like a global-political farce made by people who've never left the Upper West Side.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot doesn't serve [Fey] fully, but this is her best work yet on the feature screen. It's a pleasure to see her come into her own as a movie star while playing a woman who must travel far afield to discover her strength and courage.
