      Audience Member Muito bom. O filme mostra "os dois lados da moeda". Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review thomas a In a time when governments around the world (even the almighty one) are spreading propaganda to fool their citizens on what the other side looks like, it is necessary to take a step back that perhaps not every lie is deceitful and not every assertion is truthful. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely eye opening. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pyongyang is an impressive lookin' city. Obviously, North Korean media is incredibly biased propaganda, but this also suggests western media isn't exactly free of this either. Even truth can be subjective, selective, amplified, marginalized, distorted, dramatized, and so on, to serve one's unwavering ideology mindset. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Why is this so superficial? It is pointless to listen to so many lies without a thoughtful analysis. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A new yet familiar take on propaganda. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Some may find Longoria's wry tone offensive but his playfulness is what make him worth watching. If laughter kills fear, this man is quite the slayer. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2016 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Raising as many questions as it answers, Álvaro's film highlights how little we know of real life in North Korea, and how much propaganda from both sides continues to cloud international understanding. Rated: 3/5 Feb 28, 2016 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) The Spanish director Alvaro Longoria's documentary about North Korea is startling, comical and often horrifying but very even-handed. Rated: 4/5 Feb 25, 2016 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue This is a snapshot accompanied by counter-claims that lacks any real digging into either. It all means that The Propaganda Game feels strangely inconsequential. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2019 Full Review James Mottram Total Film Endlessly intriguing. Rated: 4/5 Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) The movie shapes up as a vague yet intriguing survey of the hermit nation. Dec 18, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
