How to Survive a Pandemic Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
A series of micro-vignettes that dont spend enough time on the urgent message spelled out bluntly over the end title cards.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's as if the film itself is suffering from a pandemic hangover and can't believe there's a reason to feel better, even when describing one of the greatest scientific and manufacturing achievements in human history.
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
Its not on the same level as Chechnya and all that films radical effects and gripping, heart-wrenching urgency, but France (who spent years in long-form reporting) has a knack for bringing real propulsion and emotion to his stories.
Black Girl Nerds
Wayne Broadway
This, if we cant get that listicle-as-film, works to keep viewers interested in reopening wounds that may have just barely started to close. In the end, its worth it just to see all the political crap of developing a life-saving medicine.
Movie Show Plus
Tom Santilli
...a film that champions science and those that champion it.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The tight focus opens up to broader issues and questions that need to be addressed.
Celluloid Dreams
Peter Canavese
Tells the story of "Operation Warp Speed" in broad strokes, fostering the notion of the gratitude that we owe to the scientists, doctors, journalists and politicians while also criticizing the Covid-19 vaccine roll-outs and inequities.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
How to Survive a Pandemic is a poor title for a mostly fascinating documentary, whose flaws reflect its slightly fragmented nature.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
So many barriers to a cure, but scientists live in hope and remind us that everyone in the world needs to be vaccinated or risk permanent recurrence.
Gay City News
Steve Erickson
How to Survive a Pandemic balances its dual task, singing the praises of the scientists who developed the vaccines while attacking the corporations making money from it, well.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
...despite having the weight of timeliness on its side, Pandemic lacks the propulsive immediacy of David France's earlier films 'How to Survive a Plague' and 'Welcome to Chechnya'.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
While its ambition and immediacy occasionally lead to some uneven patches, its insight nevertheless makes it a worthy addition to the growing library of films grappling with what just happened.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It's a globe-trotting look at the worldwide response to COVID-19, with an emphasis on the unprecedented effort to get a safe, effective vaccine quickly into billions of people.
New York Times
Devika Girish
The message - that science cannot succeed without a politics of solidarity - is important, but the film ends on a note of uncertainty that feels defeatist rather than urgent.
Variety
Guy Lodge
"How to Survive a Pandemic" serves as both a valuable potted history of the last two years of medical tumult and relief, and a critical progress report marking work yet to be done.
Decider
Johnny Loftus
It's tough to revisit the imagery of the pandemic. But "Survive" offers a succinct look at how boldly science was able to pull us out of a mortal tailspin, and the joy that can bloom inside of despair.
