Tuschi has a sharp sense of tempo and shot composition, and he obviously knows how to ask questions, because he gets good answers. Go to Full Review Patrick Peters Empire Magazine 03/02/2012
3/5
A documentary that takes fewer prisoners than Putin's KGB, Tuschi's study of Russian power politics is smart, scary and sobering. Go to Full Review Paul M. Bradshaw Little White Lies 03/02/2012

3/4
As Tuschi's film digs deeper, it seems to offer less information. Clearly, many people have been, and still are, affected by this phantom of a subject. This story is not over. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/26/2015 People like to paint this guy as having an ambiguous nature but first and foremost he's a man who commands and deserves utter respect for standing up for his principles in the face of Putin's gangster state. There is no alternative narrative to a man who chose prison over a simple life of luxury that was readily available to him. Khodorkovsky is championing an idea and an idea is more powerful than any actions that a small minded man like Putin can ever take. See more 12/24/2013 I was very interested in the subject matter but the pace and delivery of this documentary was arduous. I didn't get to the end. See more 11/10/2012 Over stylised but gripping none the less See more 05/01/2012 Great documentary about a billionaire and Russia See more 04/04/2012 Curiuos and interesting documentary See more 03/06/2012 Endlessly fascinating. Brave, brilliant & determined filmmaking. Russia - what a country!! See more Read all reviews
