Superpower Ratings & Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Matthew Carey
It serves a vital function, explaining the stakes of a war that some Americans may dismiss as something happening "over there" (just as many Americans did in the early days of World Wars I and II).
Rolling Stone
Miriam Elder
This is not a film about Zelensky; it's a film about Penn's feelings about Zelensky.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The movie's co-director, narrator, and onscreen guide, Sean Penn, can't decide what kind of movie he wants to make.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
An undeniably intense and intriguing documentary that sheds as much light on Penn's passion as on tenacity Zelenskyy.
Decider
Johnny Loftus
When it finds its footing, and especially in the actor's interviews with Volodymyr Zelensky, the film is valuable as an extra-journalistic look at the ongoing conflict and what it might mean for the world at large.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Superpower may not alter that course or the downward trajectory of Ukraine's polling numbers with the public, but it might not have to. Penn has proven he has a way of getting in front of the people he needs to hear from or to be heard.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
A powerful chronicle of Ukrainian courage and resistance, in a way that reflects Penn's passion as opposed to journalistic detachment.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Penn appears to have one eye in the mirror, but at least he's taking some sort of action.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
"Superpower," one of several documentaries about the war in Ukraine, doesn't break any news, but Penn, a two-time Oscar-winning actor and director of several feature films, is a skilled storyteller.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Serena Seghedoni
From then on, though the film keeps documenting the war, it also mainly becomes about Sean Penn himself, and that's where it suddenly becomes less poignant.
The Playlist
Anna Bogutskaya
Pathetically lightweight documentary
Collider
Marco Vito Oddo
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.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Too often, the film's well-meaning reportage is muddled with needless vanity sequences of the actor-director as an on-the-ground trailblazer...
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
It would be easy to write the whole thing off as one big and slightly dangerous vanity project, but let's be honest: This war concerns all of us, and the actor is doing all he can to help the good guys.
