Review For No | |
| Tense throughout, even for history-savvy auds, but still rich in the sort of Andean-soil-black humor that made Larrain's previous work so distinctive. Leslie Felperin-Variety "No" is an ugly looking movie - literally - for an ugly time. It's smeary, with little pictorial beauty or detail, but its anti-aesthetic is purposeful and, after your eyes stop hurting, watchable and persuasive. Manohla Dargis-New York Times A decisive transitional chapter in Chilean history yields an absorbing account of one country's unlikely route from oppression to democracy David Rooney-Hollywood Reporter Gael Garcia Bernal's television adman-turned-political-commercial-creator Rene Saavedra is such an ethically ambiguous protagonist that "No" falls completely flat as a piece of agitprop cinema. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Neatly combines political conflict with marketing satire to form a vivid look at the 1988 plebiscite that overthrew Chile's dictator Augusto Pinochet Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve "We have to find a product that's appealing to people!" says Garcia Bernal at one point. And that's just what Larraín's created with this Latin spin on Mad Men. Neil Smith-Total Film This battle and this triumph of an ad executive makes NO the first great film of 2013, and Bernal's performance the one that will be the hardest to outshine. Brandon Judell-GreenCine Director Pablo Larrain clearly wishes neither to sentimentalise the past, nor excoriate it with cynical satire; but this trepidation leaves his film feeling indecisive. Hannah McGill-The List This exquisitely assembled film, driven by Larrain's pin-sharp direction and Bernal's rousing performance, turns a potentially dry subject into something uproariously funny and massively involving. Shaun Munro-What Culture Last of a trilogy of films about Chilean politics, told through the story of an ad man using positive images to persuade voters to reject a dictator. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice A singular biopic and a snapshot of a society renewed, No unaffectedly celebrates faith in democracy, and, surprisingly, truth in advertising. R. Kurt Osenlund-Slant Magazine Starring Gael Garcia Bernal, the third, fact-based panel in Larrain's political films about the Pinochet regime, is just as riveting as the previous ones. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com the story of how a fascist dictator was overthrown by dopey TV commercials Jordan Hoffman-Badass Digest A fascinating exercise in historical fill-in-the-blanks. Eugene Novikov-Film Blather Larraín has serious form, and his film is at once worthy, skilfully made and hugely entertaining. Demetrios Matheou-Sight and Sound The standout entry of the Directors' Fortnight sidebar and the closest thing to a masterpiece that I've seen so far here in Cannes. David Fear-Time Out New York Larrain's bizarre decision to make his film blend in with its extensive passages of archive footage by shooting in U-matic - the default TV production format of the 1980s - makes for an uncomfortable cinematic viewing experience. Lee Marshall-Screen International The film provides a fascinating history lesson in the guise of backstage drama, honeycombed with antique-looking TV commercials full of Lycra-clad dancers and gambolling mimes. Xan Brooks-Guardian [UK] A hearty celebration of hard-earned democracy spiked with just enough of the director's acidly crooked humor to remind us whose house we're in. Guy Lodge-HitFix | |
