Leave your thoughts about Perestroika.
| Filmcritic.comJay Antanione of the year's strangest and most compelling narratives. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThought-provoking, if not wholly satisfying, "Perestroika" is a deconstructionist filmic stew to be savored without expectation in order to enjoy its laissez-faire reality. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerThe film, which opened March 20 in Los Angeles, is unwieldy, overstuffed and at times hopelessly clunky, yet it's also touchingly funny, visually arresting and somehow a consistent joy to watch. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferHas stylish visuals and a provocative, imaginative screenplay, but occasionally drags and feels convoluted with too many irritatingly awkward moments that lack an emotional core. |
| Sight and SoundChris DarkeTurner cumulatively generates an intense, enveloping psychic climate that we inhabit physically, and which demands to be experienced in the cinema for its full effect to be felt. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoPerestroika races back and forth between the Soviet past and non-Communist present. The result is highly personal, talky, clunky and somehow engrossing. |
| New York TimesNathan LeePerestroika is a curious combination of documentary and fiction, politics and science, sophisticated structure and incompetent drama. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonToo much science-babble obscures the truth of Perestroika. The tragedy of the aftermath would have made a better story unvarnished. |
| User ReviewAlex RPerestroika is not a bad movie, nor is it a good movie. But, Perestroika reminds me what a miserable, Godless & pitiful place was the Soviet Union, and what a miserable place was Russia during Perestroika (and it remains miserable today, based on my personal experiences there). Thanks be to God for America. |
