Out of the eight movies I've seen so far at TIFF (four more to go), "No" is my favourite. It's smart, funny and historically accurate AND offers timeless commentary on (so-called) democracy.
The cinematography is perfect for the time, and I thought the creative ways they wove the real campaign footage into the film were impeccable.
Inside scoop: real people who took part in the original "No" campaign are featured in the film. Mostly, they play for the "Yes" side.
All of the actors are strong, and the star of the show is one of the best on earth, Gael Garcia Bernal of Mexico. He is excellent, as usual, and I'm told his Chilean accent is perfect.
Overall, highly recommend seeing this movie. (You'll find yourself humming the campaign song for days!)
