The musical choices in The Dissident felt disconnected from the narrative, often distracting rather than complementing the powerful interviews and footage presented. The soundtrack did not effectively set the tone or amplify the impact of the documentary.

On the other hand, while the soundtrack is undeniably powerful, at times it can feel overly dramatic and manipulative, bordering on sensationalism. The music occasionally overshadows the raw emotions and stark realities presented in the documentary, detracting from the authenticity of the storytelling. A more subtle approach to the soundtrack could have allowed the narrative to speak for itself, without the need for such heavy-handed musical cues.
