USA, January 6, 2021. US congressmen are gathered in parliament at the Capitol about to approve the election result and declare Joe Biden the winner. Less than a mile away, Donald Trump is urging the crowd to march towards the Capitol. A few hours later, 5 people are killed and 141 wounded. With Trump's political godfather, Roger Stone, as its central character, the film documents how Trump's presidential period had to find its logical endpoint with The Storm on the Capitol. The director set out to follow the 'Make America Great Again' movement and ends up a close witness to the historical events at the center of American democracy.

Ben Dowell

Times (UK)

The abiding sense is that this isn’t just a nation sharply split on political lines, but a country divided by blinding, fathomless hatred.

Rated: 4/5

Lucy Mangan

Guardian

It comes together as a terrifying testimony to the deliberate nature of the destruction of the literal and metaphorical fabric of US politics. It is also an even more terrifying poser of the question -- what storms are yet to come?

Rated: 4/5

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

How Danish film-maker Christoffer Guldbrandsen persuaded this infamously private man to give him such access, from 2018 until the very last day of Trump’s presidency, is one of the film’s most impressive mysteries.

Rated: 4/5

Barbara Ellen

Observer (UK)

At one point, Guldbrandsen is shown on CCTV suffering a cardiac arrest in the gym, seemingly induced by the myriad pressures of making the documentary. The result of his sacrifice is a jaw-drop of a watch.

Rated: 5/5

What Guldbrandsen’s enthralling film charts is how, in such times, idiots like Stone can be dangerous.

Santiago S

This movie is an excellent piece of reporting on the Machiavellian mindset of long-time Trump booster Roger Stone and the cynical attempt by the Trump movement to steal the US presidential election in 2020.
