"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon." This film is 40 years old, and the above quote rings just as true today as it did back then. It is scary how pertinent this scarily-prescient…

for a movie so ruthless it has a pretty generous definition of “middle aged”

Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.
Joseph Herrera lovedNetworkEasily on the top 10 must watch movies. Watched it multiple times, loved it every time. A stark warning of things they may come to pass turned into a biting prophecy of the zeitgeist of American culture in the post “alternative facts” American reality. A serious, dramatized Idiocracy. Mood:…
CinEdu likedNetworkCrítica social obligada para todo crítico y empedernido por los medios de comunicación y política. Es una auténtica maravilla a la que se podría decir que "predijo" la televisión actual, pero más bien es una crítica a lo que ya ocurría en ese momento. Película digna de estudio...

the fact that this film exists at all is genuinely interesting and insanely cool. overall a great “television” drama with complex and well-written characters. the tone of the narrative is eerily ominous and unsettling at times with psychological aspects underlying everything
Jacob Hall lovedNetworkthis may be the best satirical drama ever. it aged perfectly into today, talking about propaganda, grotesque news stories, and even some of the marital issues. that one on one conference scene room near the end was one of the most intense scenes ive ever seen. 100/10
jo lovedNetworknow, THIS is a movie. amazing story, amazing script, amazing acting. its passionate and right in your face. it’s also insanely depressing. i have so much to say that i did say on my letterboxd review but alas, this app makes me stop yapping

lolol every oscar this movie won was deserved, this is an incredible satire on the television industry, with a harrowing warning. faye dunaway is terrifyingly evil and outrageous- i adore her.
zonk lovedNetworkA very well framed film that completely exceeded my expectations - that scene with the boss at the end of the table is iconic
DANK likedNetworkInteresting movie. Lots of explosive exposition which got a little tiring towards the end. Overall, worth a watch.

He hardly bothers with the characters; the movie is a ventriloquial harrangue. He thrashes around in messianic God-love booziness, driving each scene to an emotional peak.

Network is typical of the cool intelligence of '70s American cinema.
