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’ vote persuade a brash young advertising executive, René Saavedra, to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and while under scrutiny by the despot’s minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

This was surprisingly compelling. It follows the campaign to vote "No" on the 1988 referendum in Chile that would have allowed Augusto Pinochet to continue in office. I liked it a lot more than I expected to. It's shot in a unique technical style, making it look like it could have been made with 1980s technology (from what I understand it wasn't; it just looks that way, but it is clearly a deliberate design choice). Well acted, well scripted, well directed. It's quite good and easy to see why it's nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

I can see why some people would complain about the movie's pace - not a lot happens, but what happens is thunderous. I particularly appreciated the moments we're brought shoulder to shoulder with the characters and watch the ads on TV - it's quite immersive, particularly as each campaign responds to the other. I was somehow familiar with the history of Chile's dictatorship but unfamiliar with the No referendum, and I feel I learned a lot with this movie. Well acted, sets are incredible, and technically excellent from a production perspective.

Interesting and informative movie about the events that started the transition in Chile from the dictatorship to the democracy.

This is an amazing true story. The directing feels messy, but it's clear that it was intended to imitate the mess that surrounded this story in real life.

Pinochet was one of several dictators that was installed by United States through the agency of the CIA. Why? We can only guess that the sitti More
