Paul Rotha Cinema Quarterly 02/04/2021
Technically, the film is as uneven as the presentation of its theme. Moments of inspired direction and brilliant cutting are alternated with long passages of mediocre cinematics which do not seem the work of the same man. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/25/2005

10/20/2010 Self-conscious artistry, exquisite industrial landscapes, but like most propaganda ('scuse me, Leni Riefenstahl), BORING. See more 09/28/2008 Dark and depressing. See more 10/02/2007 I don't think this beats the other films by Pudovkin but this film was quite fascinating, an ending that was abrupt and overall, a pretty brilliant film that is not his best, but his worst owns most people's best.
