Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com “This Is Not a Drill” is a warning that lacks urgency. Sep 12, 2025 Full Review J. Don Birnam Next Best Picture This movie convinces you that small changes are possible, but systemic big ones are impossible. In that way, “This Is Not a Drill” itself turns out to be mildly inspiring—but never groundbreakingly so. Rated: 8/10 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist ... the work that Pearson, Ozane, and Wilson are doing is essential, even more so during the current administration. Despite their projects’ setbacks, one never gets the sense that they will fold in the face of political or social pressure. Rated: B- Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
