Filmmaker Margarita Jimeno examines Gogol Bordello, a band that fuses Gypsy music with punk rock.

Joe Williams

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The nine-person circus is fronted by Eugene Hutz, a charismatic and photogenic character with a handlebar mustache and sordid stories to tell.

Choppy, high-energy documentary of the band's rise from a cult phenomenon to international acclaim.

Rated: 3/5

Slant Magazine

Most of the best sequences simply give over to footage of Gogol's live performances, with lead singer Eugene Htz often seen inviting audience members on stage for any number of gags or creative involvements.

Rated: 2.5/4

Times-Picayune

As fun as it is, it never makes a convincing case for its own existence. "Here's a cool band," Jimeno seems to be saying - and that's the extent of it.

Rated: 2.5/4

Boxoffice Magazine

Margarita Jimeno's documentary Gogol Bordello Non-Stop savors the early offerings of the band, gigging at Brighton Beach wedding parties and musing for second generation Russians to sold out phenomena tours across Europe.

Rated: 3/5

Throughout watching this film it will make you realize that there aren't nearly enough gypsy punk rock bands out there.

This is a decent documentary, but nothing special. Only really worth watching if you like Gogol Bordello.

Lots of screaming and generally irresponsible & unsanitary behavior. So, in other words... pretty awesome.

Great film! Hands-down. You don't even have to know the band to enjoy it.

Basically I'm a fan of Gogol Bordello. And if you are a fan, what's not to like about this? Though the focus is primarily on frontsman Eugene Hutz, all the members of the band are interviewed about how they came to be with Gogol Bordello and their roles within the band. We see old family footage of Hutz in the Ukraine, of the early days of the band in the old Bulgaria Bar to the current travels of the band around the world. Though the band has gotten some above ground attention as of late and certainly play bigger venues these days, Hutz and the others have not abandoned their ties to the bohemian underground (the international squatter symbol is prominently sprayed onto the wall of more than one building they visit in different locales.) Yeah, yeah, I know he was in some movie that Madonna put up the money for or wrote the screenplay for or something like that. Even so, as of yet, he hasn't stopped being that guy in the Bulgaria Bar no matter where he ends up, you know?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
