Network is simply brilliant in every aspect. There is nothing actually here that I can fault. It is a compelling, brilliantly written, beautifully acted movie and more.
The film does look great. The cinematography is excellent, while the scenery, locations and costumes are top notch. Sidney Lumet, a solid director a vast majority of the time does a exemplary job directing too, in fact Network is probably his best-directed film.
Then there is the screenplay. I still stand by my thoughts that Network has one of the best screenplays ever, scathing yet daring and sophisticated and intelligent. And it is flawlessly delivered by William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall and Faye Dunnaway who in turn give wonderful performances and a stellar support cast.
All in all, it is a superb film, and I'd say it is one of the best of the 70s. 10/10 Bethany Cox
