Filmmaker Alvaro Longoria examines North Korea's propaganda war.

Charlotte O'Sullivan

London Evening Standard

Some may find Longoria's wry tone offensive but his playfulness is what make him worth watching. If laughter kills fear, this man is quite the slayer.

Rated: 4/5

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Raising as many questions as it answers, Álvaro's film highlights how little we know of real life in North Korea, and how much propaganda from both sides continues to cloud international understanding.

Rated: 3/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

The Spanish director Alvaro Longoria's documentary about North Korea is startling, comical and often horrifying but very even-handed.

Rated: 4/5

CineVue

This is a snapshot accompanied by counter-claims that lacks any real digging into either. It all means that The Propaganda Game feels strangely inconsequential.

Rated: 3/5

The movie shapes up as a vague yet intriguing survey of the hermit nation.

Pyongyang is an impressive lookin' city. Obviously, North Korean media is incredibly biased propaganda, but this also suggests western media isn't exactly free of this either. Even truth can be subjective, selective, amplified, marginalized, distorted, dramatized, and so on, to serve one's unwavering ideology mindset.

Why is this so superficial? It is pointless to listen to so many lies without a thoughtful analysis.
