3.5/5
Nobody Speak builds a damning, convincing case that journalism needs protecting. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety 06/23/2017
What the film offers is evidence of a pattern, the shadows of a disturbing trend that add up to a warning: If we, as a society, don't push back against the chipping away of the freedom of information, it's only going to get worse, until it eats us alive. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
It has the feel of a late-night conversation at a college party, full of good ideas but lacking focus. Go to Full Review
Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 12/20/2018
3.5/5
Objectivity and freedom of the press is one of the foundations on which our country was based, and its ability to be controlled by those with deep pockets and influential authority is flat out alarming. Go to Full Review

Knappenberger falls short of greatness by falling victim to the distraction that is Donald Trump. Go to Full Review
Morgan Rojas Cinemacy 08/06/2018
Watching Knappenberger's documentary will hopefully raise awareness about the state of jeopardy independent journalism is currently in and possibly prevent a situation like Gawker's from happening to another outlet. Go to Full Review

torin f 10/11/2022 Makes some interesting cultural connections in telling the Gawker story, but then morphs into a heavy-handed free press advocacy piece that smacks a little of propaganda, despite the important message. See more mark b 10/09/2022 Absolutely hilarious - watch the people who created cancel culture squeal and cry when they are beaten at their own game. They would have loved to see Hulk Hogan "cancelled" over some bs, but then when THEY end-up getting cancelled they look at the camera with surprised Pikachu face and cry victim. The obvious lunacy is the crying about "free-speech" - again from the very same people whose motus operandi is to silence and censor others. As a documentary this is the typical lunacy we've all grown to hate the corporate, globalist "media" for, but as a comedy or as a revenge flick, there's great satisfaction to be had. See more 05/14/2022 What a shitty doc! Love to know how the "disinformation" agency will say about this. Terrible! Just terrible! See more 01/23/2022 What could have been a documentary about a gossip site posting "revenge porn" and a "win" for being against "fappenings" . . . turns into Trump derangement syndrome and calling gawker releasing sex tapes "journalism". Looking at this in 2022 with all sorts of tech censorship and common knowledge of corrupt media. No wonder the critic score is in 90s while audience score is pretty low. See more 12/03/2021 So …basically, orange man bad. See more 05/06/2021 Massively tilted. Tediously predictable. Uses overtly selected emotionally manipulative techniques to support preselected one-dimensional narrative. Hard to draw serious conclusions with such a one-sided bit of propaganda.
