 Watch No Movie In Theather In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

Review For No |
A cunning and richly enjoyable combination of high-stakes drama and media satire from Chilean director Pablo Larrain. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
A mesmerizing, realistic and often hilarious look at the politics of power and the power of ideas ... Peter Howell-Toronto Star
A political drama, a personal drama, a sharp-eyed study of how the media manipulate us from all sides, No reels and ricochets with emotional force. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
It's a funny look at the way the media warp public opinion, and a curiously hopeful one. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
On every level, "No" leaves one with bittersweet feelings about democracy, love and the cost of compromise. John Anderson-Newsday
If you can shake off the inherent grossness of mining the Pinochet years for yet another Mad Man-style deification of zeitgeist-grasping salesmen, this is moderately interesting stuff. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Freshens up a decades-old story with vibrant humor and a good sense of storytelling. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
No continually impresses for its slyness and savvy -- rarely has such an eyesore been so worth watching. Jason Anderson-The Grid
Larrain fashions an unlikely crowd-pleaser from a historical episode that has its share of tragedy as well as triumph. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
Stirring as a celebration of voter empowerment, No may also inspire pangs of wistful nostalgia. A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago
Fascinating work from director Pablo Larrain and screenwriter Pedro Peirano, who manage to slip into the skin of a beleaguered country and detail the urgency of a revolution, sold one jingle at a time. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
Swims upstream against high-definition with a defiantly lo-fi approach that's also ingeniously evocative of the historical period. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Wildly colorful strokes, full of bitter humor. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
It's a fascinating and surprisingly fun look behind the scenes of politics and media. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
An Oscar-nominated win for more than just political junkies. Matt Pais-RedEye
A worthy and a quite interesting slice of modern international history ... Roz Laws-Birmingham Post
