Our New President
It is a realistic and cynical picture of Russian intervention in the 2016 US election. The Trump elections reveal a large part of the counterfeit news and methods of modern information warfare, which the Russian propaganda dealt with in a funny and funny way. It is a story that seems realistic in a political mold funny about global politics.

With no central voice guiding it, it feels aimless, not sure whether it is a horror movie or a comedy. Sometimes it feels like a hard hitting look at Russian media and other times it feels like some absurd parody that we should be laughing at.

Alternately amuses, shocks and enrages, revealing concerted Russian propaganda efforts, backed by Vladimir Putin's state-controlled media, that range from the comically paranoid to the scarily sophisticated.

In general, the tone is playful and satirical, making use of a quick montage that adapts to the information frenzy and the desire for immediacy that we are currently experiencing. [Full review in Spanish]

A heady lesson in how fake news really works - and how far back it stretches.

Pandering to the new McCarthyism of the pseudoleft with dollops of Evil Putin porn only clouds the film's gonzo entertainment value, revealing its dangerous blind spots and ideological bent.

It's a scattergun approach that all adds up to compelling evidence of an orchestrated campaign led from the very top.
April 26, 2018
A portrait of a nation determined to keep its citizens gossiping about foreign politics so they won't question what's happening in their own government.

Our New President paints a harrowing picture of what it must be like as a citizen dictated by a vain billionaire who has taken away almost all journalistic outlets besides RT and YouTube, which he has filled with trolls.

It's ironic that a film damning the use of propaganda is blatantly propaganda itself, as Pozdorovkin lacks the confidence to let the various clips speak for themselves, using obtrusive techniques to spell out the eerie nature of his footage.
