Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 02/28/2016
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 02/28/2016
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 02/25/2016
4/5
The Spanish director Alvaro Longoria's documentary about North Korea is startling, comical and often horrifying but very even-handed. Go to Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue 04/08/2019
3/5
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. Go to Full Review James Mottram Total Film 01/02/2017
4/5
Endlessly intriguing. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 12/18/2016
The movie shapes up as a vague yet intriguing survey of the hermit nation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gustavo H 03/01/2018 Muito bom. O filme mostra "os dois lados da moeda". See more 04/08/2017 Extremely eye opening. See more 03/02/2017 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. See more 10/02/2016 Why is this so superficial? It is pointless to listen to so many lies without a thoughtful analysis. See more 07/06/2016 A new yet familiar take on propaganda. See more 07/01/2016 I watch just about everything related to NK I can find. This is the best documentary by far. See more Read all reviews
