  • ★★★★ review by Billy Langsworthy on Letterboxd

    A slick, fascinating, important documentary that's far more chilling than most horror movies I've seen this year.

    And for Peter Thiel, Nobody Speak plays out like the perfect audition for a role in Mr Robot as the show's next main supervillain.

    An incredibly engaging documentary about the politics of the free press. An astonishing tale of corruption and defence, but ultimately keeps on evolving and evolving with no clear insight and simply glosses over most details in its last act.

    Brutally relevant in these days where the press is slowly losing its voice and freedom in front of the authoritarianism.

  • ★★★½ review by Michael Berger on Letterboxd

    Let me tell you something, brother. Hulk Hogan doesn't like brothers, brother. Oh brother! And whatchya think he's gonna do when Allegedly Filmed Committing a Sexual Act Without Prior Consent and Verbally Slurring an Entire Race of People-AMANIA runs WILD on himmmmmm? He'd better say his prayers! Eat his vitamins! Because when you outsource the bastardization and crippling of journalistic practice for the petty, insecure personal reasons of a billionaire a continent away who is piggybacking on the Hulkster's personal privacy being violated, jack. It's just not toooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

  • ★★★½ review by Baby on Letterboxd

    very interesting doc that goes from what seems like such a dumb small trial to a very big and important issue happening right now

    also are hulk hogan and trump related or do they both just go to the same tanning salon?
