Nobody Speak: Hulk Hogan, Gawker and Trials of a Free Press Reviews

Objectivity and freedom of the press is one of the foundations on which our country was based, and its ability to be controlled by those with deep pockets and influential authority is flat out alarming.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 20, 2018

Knappenberger falls short of greatness by falling victim to the distraction that is Donald Trump.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 10, 2018

Watching Knappenberger's documentary will hopefully raise awareness about the state of jeopardy independent journalism is currently in and possibly prevent a situation like Gawker's from happening to another outlet.

| Aug 6, 2018

What starts out as a standard documentary procedural ... soon becomes an expos on how the rich and powerful in our country are attempting to silence the fourth estate.

| Feb 25, 2018

As Nobody Speak spirals outward from the Gawker case to examine the broader cultural conflicts between journalists and the powerful, it loses some of its focus but none of its righteous indignation

| Aug 18, 2017

A fine film about a complex and delicate subject, Nobody Speak stands out as an exceptional work with big ideas about democracy and free speech.

| Aug 15, 2017

Interviews Gawker editors extensively on personal toll of the suit and liabilities; reporters give inside look at the trial... conclusion gets over dramatic and heavy-handed.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 31, 2017

This is a documentary that covers such a salacious and outright bizarre story that nothing should really shock. A film about serious issues that plays at times like an absurd comedy. A film that sadly reflects the gutter within which we live.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 20, 2017

Fascinating but unfocused docu on media, ethics, power.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2017

...This is no "documentary." It's a prejudiced, partisan, ham-fisted polemic, so biased it would embarrass Pravda....a disgrace to documentary filmmaking in general and to journalism in particular.

| Original Score: 0/10 | Jul 7, 2017

A hard-hitting documentary exposing the multi-leveled attack on the media by the rich and the powerful.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 7, 2017

A funny, frightening, frustrating, and important film.

| Jun 28, 2017

It is timely and easy to follow, and fans of the First Amendment and haters of the Trump Administration will love it unconditionally.

| Jun 26, 2017

Nobody Speak builds a damning, convincing case that journalism needs protecting.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 23, 2017

What the film offers is evidence of a pattern, the shadows of a disturbing trend that add up to a warning: If we, as a society, don't push back against the chipping away of the freedom of information, it's only going to get worse, until it eats us alive.

| Jun 23, 2017

It has the feel of a late-night conversation at a college party, full of good ideas but lacking focus.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 23, 2017

A film about the vital importance of speaking truth to power needn't be so concerned with dressing up its own frightful truths, but Nobody Speak still compels as an opening statement on journalism's dubious future.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 22, 2017

Just because "Nobody Speak" has a timely message doesn't make it an ideal messenger.

| Jun 22, 2017

A troubling foreshadowing of things to come if journalists are threatened, sidelined or attacked by powerful institutions and people more concerned with their own interests than what's best for the country or communities.

| Jun 22, 2017

This documentary is an invigorating, disturbing portrait of the arrogance and sinister self-importance of rich people, bullying politicians and their battalions of lawyers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2017
