Leave your thoughts about My Perestroika.
| Film Comment MagazineNicolas RapoldA refreshing alternative to many fictional representations of large nations weathering cataclysmic changes. |
| Boston GlobeLoren KingOffers a surprising and revealing look at Russia's past and present. |
| UR Chicago MagazineJohn EstherEngulfed in a bittersweet symphony of getting what one wants and losing what one once had, the documentary's personal conversations manifest themselves into something greater than a few Russians weighing in on current affairs |
| About.comJennifer MerinDirector Robin Hessman, who spent the 1990s living and working in Russia, follows five Russian 30-somethings in her insightful, poignant verite portrayal of the effects of political, social and economic changes resulting from Perestroika. |
