Dave C @PeterAbbott 1d Many of the scenes were too stagey for a documentary. It felt like the directors decided how a scene should look -- how it should play out. Then they rehearsed the scene, and shot it like a fictional film drama. Some of the shots of the town of Karabash were interesting. You get at least a superficial view of a faraway place, in a country most of us will never get to visit. But that's not enough to make up for the feeling of dishonesty in the style of the filmmaking.

Gradual surreal transformation of society targeting children ..one can’t hate enough how people in power destroying life. See more Tara B @AZCurlyGurl 6d Mr. Nobody Against Putin is a gripping and sobering documentary that examines the power of propaganda, the price of dissent, and the courage it takes for one person to stand up against an authoritarian system. What begins as a portrait of an ordinary Russian citizen daring to question Putin’s regime evolves into a broader reflection on how societies can be slowly conditioned to accept control as stability, and silence as safety. The film isn’t just a study of authoritarianism; it’s a reminder that freedom doesn’t vanish overnight. It erodes when enough people decide it’s someone else’s problem to protect. And yet, as the film shows, the courage of even one "nobody" can pierce that darkness, reminding the world that resistance often begins with a single, defiant voice. In a time when truth itself feels under siege, this documentary is both a warning and an inspiration. See more Leaburn O 6d A pretty frightening look at the militarisation of Russian schools. A reminder of the extent to which propaganda can take a grip and destroy young minds. Slightly let down by a bit of self indulgence from the film maker but generally a brave man for daring to record and flee with this material. It is scary how Russian schools are being used to train unthinking youth into joining an awful inhumane cause. Watched on BBC iPlayer.

Unfortunately, the film remains perpetually relevant — not only in relation to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but equally with regard to current developments in the United States and the state of other countries around the world.

The -0.2 is only because it is a movie only some will be interested enough to watch. But those who watched it or will want to watch it, this is a beautiful treat. The film is expertly threaded together in a cohesive story. I am at awe at our filmmaker/our protagonist, Pasha, who managed tell the tale of his school/town and its tragic implications clearly with clear escalating plot points. But it is told with so many moments of humour, of lightness, of innoence, and of beauty. This unique balance make the whole film, which is all documentary, feels like a cinematic masterpiece. And at the heart of the film is Pasha's love. It is because of his love for his students, the changes to his students hurts that much more. It is because he has his own sense of truth, the propanda and its absurdity evoke anger and humour in equal measure. And it is because of Pasha's love for freedom, the tale of a Russian school and its dark descend hits that much harder. It really is something special. See more Read all reviews
