Leave your thoughts about Red Army.
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaIt's a story of global consequences and historic proportions, and of astounding athleticism and synchronicity - and filmmaker Polsky ices it. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireEmotionally charged, viscerally exciting and consistently enlightening, Gabe Polsky’s Red Army is a sports documentary like no other. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitGame clips are exciting and illustrate East-West differences of style and ways of thinking, but the real though subsurface subject is the breakup of the USSR and the forging of present-day Russia. |
| Seattle TimesMichael UpchurchWittily edited and beautifully scored, "Red Army" is not just a terrific film but an important one - even if you don't give two hoots about ice hockey. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyThere's a lesson here for fans of any contemporary sport and an absolutely thrilling tale, impeccably assembled besides. Sporting glory awaits, even for those viewers who couldn't tell a jockstrap from a jellybean. |
| Village VoiceAmy NicholsonRed Army is a riveting look behind the Iron Curtain. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyThanks to Gabe Polsky's enthralling new documentary, we finally get to see these athletes for who they really were—it humanizes a group of men who were cast by history in the role of villains. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisDirector Gabe Polsky masterfully documents Fetisov’s triumphs — and sorrows. |

| Washington PostAnn HornadayIn this swift, smart, often very funny film, Polsky takes an unprecedented look at the legendary Soviet-era hockey program and its life after glasnost, exposing an athletic system that became a crucial symbol of Communist history and politics, but also discipline, grace and brooding, melancholy soul. |
