      Rachel Saltz New York Times It's a remarkable story, even if "The Revolutionary," a no-frills documentary drawn from five years of interviews, isn't much of a movie. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound documents the most dramatic moments in China's revolution under Mao Zedong from the perspective of a close insider who was also a westerner and outsider... a tale of ideological fervour and subsequent disillusion Mar 13, 2013 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics An astounding performance by Sidney Rittenburg as he describes his loving and horrific 35 year relationship with Communist China. Rated: 8/10 Apr 29, 2013 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Captivating, heartfelt and gripping. It should be a requirement for every young American to watch this documentary. Rated: 9.25/10 Apr 17, 2013 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews This aptly titled documentary draws upon the sharp memory and deep insights of a rueful nonagenarian. It might be of most interest to political people. If that describes you, DO NOT MISS IT. Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International Artistically anemic documentary provides a thrillingly unique viewpoint on the disillusion and terror of the 20th century's most tragic revolution.
