Daria K @daria141 1d Poorly camouflaged self-promotion without any coherent message See more Dean E 1d Another documentary about the war in Ukraine, but this one from the other side. A Russian teacher risks his safety documenting the Russian propaganda machine at the beginning of the invasion and then trying to get said footage out of the country. Not a lot of suspense in whether or not he succeeds, because you are watching this movie, but it's still fascinating to see this from the other point of view. See more Dave C @PeterAbbott 4d Many of the scenes were too stagey for a documentary. It felt like the directors decided how a scene should look -- how it should play out. Then they rehearsed the scene, and shot it like a fictional film drama. Some of the shots of the town of Karabash were interesting. You get at least a superficial view of a faraway place, in a country most of us will never get to visit. But that's not enough to make up for the feeling of dishonesty in the style of the filmmaking.

Gradual surreal transformation of society targeting children ..one can’t hate enough how people in power destroying life. See more Tara B @AZCurlyGurl Jan 24 Mr. Nobody Against Putin is a gripping and sobering documentary that examines the power of propaganda, the price of dissent, and the courage it takes for one person to stand up against an authoritarian system. What begins as a portrait of an ordinary Russian citizen daring to question Putin’s regime evolves into a broader reflection on how societies can be slowly conditioned to accept control as stability, and silence as safety. The film isn’t just a study of authoritarianism; it’s a reminder that freedom doesn’t vanish overnight. It erodes when enough people decide it’s someone else’s problem to protect. And yet, as the film shows, the courage of even one "nobody" can pierce that darkness, reminding the world that resistance often begins with a single, defiant voice. In a time when truth itself feels under siege, this documentary is both a warning and an inspiration. See more Leaburn O Jan 24 A pretty frightening look at the militarisation of Russian schools. A reminder of the extent to which propaganda can take a grip and destroy young minds. Slightly let down by a bit of self indulgence from the film maker but generally a brave man for daring to record and flee with this material. It is scary how Russian schools are being used to train unthinking youth into joining an awful inhumane cause. Watched on BBC iPlayer. See more Read all reviews
