Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes Ratings & Reviews
Nuha Hassan (Medium)
Nuha Hassan
The documentary begins with footage of Chernobyl residents living peacefully in their neighbourhoods, children playing in the background and a doctor announcing a new maternity ward due to the increased birth rates and the arrival of new families.

... the visual materials come from archives discovered in the former Soviet Union, much of it previously unseen, while the audio elements are a combination of archival materials from the time of the explosion and more recent interviews.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It's not a good look for those now arguing that nuclear power is our best means to circumvent climate change.
Celluloid Dreams
Peter Canavese
An important and sickening story told by the surviving workers and civilians with archival film and audio effectively illustrating a story to remember.
Decider
John Serba
It's a difficult watch, but Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes is one of the year's best documentaries.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
A vivid portrait of the human cost for malfeasance and authoritarianism.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
By simply piecing together footage from the time, this film opens up the truth in powerful and substantial ways that few accounts have or could.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
It's less concerned with the tapes themselves than with the act of bearing witness.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The Lost Tapes is a chronicle of folly, which makes it perversely fascinating and, one hopes, cautionary.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
At its core, the documentary exposes the toxic combination of a major tragedy and a highly secretive regime, yielding a tragedy that has lingered in the public consciousness in more ways than one.
