Cleverly shot and has a fascinating story, mixing real world shots makes the whole thing feel very authentic
Generally I’m turned off by movies specifically marketed as “a Trues Story”, often preferring a doc. This movie strikes a rare balance. 👍
A powerful and inspiring true story about the unknown creative heroes behind a democratic cause. Sadly it's a story still happening today.
Must-watch movie for advertisers, communicators, and people who live in a country where dictatorships once ruled.
La forma en la que muestran que la política no es más que una batalla de publicidad es brutal. Gael García Bernal es fantástico.
Fitting visual style and pacing make this a very intimate experience and gives you the sense of actually being in the middle of it all.
A weird direction that makes dialogues sometimes hard to follow but a very deep questioning on a major point in Chile's history.
El montaje es muy interesante, sin duda la virtud de utilizar la cámara en mano es su punto fuerte, se siente muy natural
For audience outside of Chile, it doesnt deliever the idea of the importance of the whole voting thing. Just characters running around.
This movie is perfect to understand that we can change even a dictatorship with the simplicity of saying no. Chile's history
