Perfect Film if you didn’t watch the news the past 12 months and like to see American Boomers stroking their egos on the back of humanitarian crisis and a nation at war.

Leo HameisterSep 19, 2023Sean Penn's Ukraine documentary isn't as insufferable as you would imagine but it's one hell of a cluttered mess. The whole thing feels redundant as if it's only suited for people who have been living under a rock for the last 10 years and definitely not suited to anyone in…

War propaganda. But a very funny premise nonetheless. I can imagine a great film will be one day made, perhaps in the Lubitsch mould, in which an A-list Hollywood star finds himself trapped in an invaded country while making a fluffy documentary. He keeps making the…
MiloFeb 17, 2023Berlinale #3 The result of Sean Penn trying to direct an important film while drunk or hangover for most of it. I neither learned anything new about the situation in Ukraine or experienced anything major emotionally. This film does not know what it wants to be or to show.…

Sean Penn's Superpower is it to be drunk all the time and making a really adequate, contemporary documentary that‘s dealing with such a drastic topic. Hats off to everyone involved in this.

Decent coverage of the basics, but it does tend to feature a lot more of Sean Penn than expected. That said, I do think Penn has noble intentions with his global activism in comparison to most celebrities.

The shocking images of Superpower can move us, but the movie ends up being nothing more than a piece of propaganda. Even worse, the documentary is a wasted opportunity to give a proper voice to the people who still live and fight in Ukraine. Instead, Superpower seems more concerned about contributing to the mystification of Zelensky and the image of Penn as a lonesome and brave hero.

If Penn’s point in visiting Ukraine, meeting Zelensky and co-directing Superpower was to make himself heard, then it’s mission accomplished.

Penn and Kaufman’s film about him is sprawling and uneven but also heartfelt and inspiring. It’s informative but has an immediacy which you rarely find in conventional news reports. The documentary leaves you with admiration not only for its subject, the comedian turned wartime leader, but for the doughty Hollywood star who put himself in the eye of the storm too.
