A cunning and richly enjoyable combination of high-stakes drama and media satire from Chilean director Pablo Larrain.
A mesmerizing, realistic and often hilarious look at the politics of power and the power of ideas ...
A political drama, a personal drama, a sharp-eyed study of how the media manipulate us from all sides, No reels and ricochets with emotional force.
It's a funny look at the way the media warp public opinion, and a curiously hopeful one.
On every level, "No" leaves one with bittersweet feelings about democracy, love and the cost of compromise.
If you can shake off the inherent grossness of mining the Pinochet years for yet another Mad Man-style deification of zeitgeist-grasping salesmen, this is moderately interesting stuff.
No continually impresses for its slyness and savvy -- rarely has such an eyesore been so worth watching.
Larrain fashions an unlikely crowd-pleaser from a historical episode that has its share of tragedy as well as triumph.
Stirring as a celebration of voter empowerment, No may also inspire pangs of wistful nostalgia.
Fascinating work from director Pablo Larrain and screenwriter Pedro Peirano, who manage to slip into the skin of a beleaguered country and detail the urgency of a revolution, sold one jingle at a time.
Swims upstream against high-definition with a defiantly lo-fi approach that's also ingeniously evocative of the historical period.
Wildly colorful strokes, full of bitter humor.
It's a fascinating and surprisingly fun look behind the scenes of politics and media.
An Oscar-nominated win for more than just political junkies.
A worthy and a quite interesting slice of modern international history ...
