The dramatised scenes add little and range from superfluous to baffling, but the commentary on the art itself is fascinating and the sad endings of most artists' stories leave you wondering what might have been.

Rated: 3/5

The film lays out its subject like an enticing quest, as if many mysteries are about to be uncovered.

Times (UK)

A visual feast of a documentary that describes how artists from Chagall to Kandinsky to Malevich rose in tandem with the Russian Revolution in 1917.

Rated: 4/5

The work lacks a coherent organization. It jumps from event to event, personality to personality, with almost no discernible logic.

Fan The Fire

Ultimately a little televisual and perhaps did not require a cinematic release, but even so there is an interesting discourse in here not just how this art related to its period, but how any art can do so, and the importance of that relationship.

Margy Kinmonth's illuminating new documentary... takes us back to a time and place when visual artists were at the forefront of a world-shaking re-ordering of priorities.
