For how big, complex, and public the case is and how many people they interview, we got a very messy and, honestly, quite boring documentary.

The biggest offender this movie has is how horribly time pasted it is. The documentary drags on for too long on a event or topic that occurred, than introduce a topic quickly, like in a span of a minute or two, than does not mention it again in the documentary. I'm than sitting there asking what was the point of it being brought up for it not being irrelevant for the prospective the documentary wants to project. I think this documentary could've been more appropriately time pasted being a docuseries rather than a 1 hour documentary.

There's numerous things that the documentary present, but doesn't explain further on it. For example, they didn't try and offer an explanation for how the Novichok got on Sergil's door handle. Another instance is when they introduced a nearby lab that is famously mysterious in the area and has the recipe to create Novicok a few miles from Salisbury, but doesn't give any information or theories further on the lab.

I think the documentary would've been stronger if there were interviews from Yuila, news broadcasters that covered the Salisbury Poisonings, and people who didn't believe that Russia did it and offer their own theories.

I recommend this film to people who hate Russia, since it's blaming Russia for a mysterious Novicok poisoning, and to people who have interest in crime cases that are terribly told.

I give "Secrets of the Salisbury Poisonings" a 3/10 due to it dragging in numerous sections, introducing topics that are irreverent to the prospective shown here, and how much they focus on one theory, that being Russia being the criminal behind the poisonings, without suggesting other theories that are possible; however this case is very interesting none the less.

Too many factual issues and intentionally omitted details and questions surrounding the alleged Russian poisoning of the Skripals. I can list 15-20 factual inaccuracies put forth as gospel truth in this film, but IMDB apparently will sacrifice honest reviews for not having any user reviews at all. That's a shame.

To put it shortly, there is much doubt as to the truth behind this case and too many strange coincidences and perfectly timed official announcements; none of which is covered in this film.

If you're looking for pure anti-Russia propaganda based on what are actually disputed events and findings, you can probably just open up any American newspaper at the moment. This film adds nothing to the already well disseminated official narrative and is extremely one-sided. Why even make a film like this? There's only one answer, and it's obviously not to make $ or actually attempt to solve the case. It was made to spread propaganda, period.
