A behind-the-scenes look at Moscow's prestigious Bolshoi Theatre as it's rocked by an acid-attack scandal in 2013.
Leave your thoughts about Bolshoi Babylon.
| Los Angeles TimesLaura BleibergThese twin tracts of darkness and light, the sordid and the sublime, quite effectively submerge the viewer into a closed world. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyIt's not perhaps the handbags-and-hair-pulling exposé we were hoping for, but it looks splendid, and the contributors, including Russian Premier Dimitry Medvedev, are often as interesting for what they don't say as what they do. |
| The Big IssueEdward LawrensonWhat emerges is a toxic fairytale about the beauty of artistic endeavour and the beastly behaviour that sometimes accompanies it. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanGiven the circumstances, Read has done a wonderful job. Instead of promoting or smearing a celebrated brand he's created a portrait of a workplace that feels both pertinent to Putin's Russia and universal. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA shocking tale of dysfunction, showing that the discipline needed for classical music creates violence and pain as a hidden byproduct, like nuclear waste. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Mark MonahanIt places the traumatised but still astonishingly high-functioning company in national and historical context, peels away its glamorous mask, and lets the backstage dramas of its various damatis personae unfold. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinBolshoi Babylon explores the bizarre case in more detail, but grows even more interesting when it examines how this storied cultural institution struggles to survive tempestuous politics both inside and outside the theater walls. |
| New York TimesBrian SeibertThrough interviews, court footage and backstage glimpses of rehearsals and performances, Bolshoi Babylon tells this story adequately, if unimaginatively. |
| VogueStephen HeymanSpliced between all this inscrutable psychodrama are scenes of sumptuous dancing, though balletomanes will no doubt be let down that there isn't more discussion of ballet itself. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonTouching sensitive nerves a little tentatively when a firm prod would have been preferable, Bolshoi Babylon dances around some of the harder issues at hand, remaining inquisitive rather than intrusive and asking more question than it answers |
