| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFilmmaker Devlin details this complicated series of events with clarity, a sense of drama and more than a few touches of dark humor. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIntelligent, revealing, and sometimes hilarious. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinDevlin's movie deals with transition and displacement in the former Soviet Union. It introduces us to a highly committed international work force and to disgruntled Georgians. The movie also immerses us in a conflict that appears irreconcilable. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt's a good, solid, enlightening piece of work on an interesting, engaging topic. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineThe film's DV capture is often shabby, but the intriguing imagery compensates -- from slums to nearby mountains, from impassioned, defiant natives to stone-faced or sleazy potentates. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoIf the documentary has a star, it's pony-tailed AES exec Piers Lewis, who had the impossible job of getting Georgians to actually pay for their electricity. |
| Village VoiceWard HarkavyLike the best documentaries, this one raises questions instead of providing pat answers. If only Devlin had taken his intrepid reporting a few steps further. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonForgoing the usual talking heads and stock footage, this new documentary by Paul Devlin actively and dramatically records the recent electricity fiasco in Georgia (just south of Russia). |
| VarietyDavid StrattonMade with deft evenhandedness, Paul Devlin's accomplished film plays almost like a fictional drama, containing suspense, comedy and some colorful characters. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannDevlin tells his story without bias but with shards of gallows humor. |
