Our New President

2018

Maxim Pozdorovkin

Documentary

6.0

Documentary The story of Donald Trump's election told entirely through Russian propaganda. By turns horrifying and hilarious, the film is a satirical portrait of Russian media that reveals an empire of fake news and the tactics of modern-day information warfare.

	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"An impressively assembled work, edited with brio by Pozdorovkin and Matvey Kulakov"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A revealing documentary (...) Mostly it’s scary, because what it reveals is that fake-news culture is now an escalating global phenomenon"	POS
United Kingdom	Charlie Phillips The Guardian	"A fascinating and necessary curio (...) An important documentary for our times too, taking us deep into the heart of a bubble far from our own (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"The film is certainly, on some base level, entertaining: It’s hard not to laugh (...) I yearned for more context and depth (...) 'Our New President' merely scratches the surface"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The key to this movie is that while it goes deep into the archives to create an abrasive video essay, the movie is not a conspiracy theory itself."	POS
