Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin CovertA bizarre account of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, mixing dark comedy and remarkable biography.
National Post - 10/10 by David BerryA documentary with no easy antecedents, The Russian Woodpecker is at once a glance inside a wondrous mind, a journey back into the twisted mire of the Cold War and an experience that can't stop provoking questions.
2UE That Movie Show - 9/10 by Blake HowardDocumentary cinema rarely feels this immediate and relevant. The Russian Woodpecker sounds a lot like a canary whistling from the coal mine to me.
New York Times - 9/10 by Nicolas RapoldWhatever the facts, Mr. Gracia’s messily structured film works best as a document of fear in today’s Ukraine and as a kind of ghost story about the Soviet Union.
Film School Rejects - 8/10 by Christopher CampbellThis film has it all: humor, terror, drama, politics, revolution, history, prophesy, secrets, lies ... I can't recall the last time a documentary surprised me quite so much.
Nonfics - 8/10 by Daniel WalberFirst and foremost a thrilling conspiracy theory documentary about Fedor Alexandrovich and his quest for the truth behind the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Variety - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyDeftly cramming a terrific amount of history, breaking news, personal drama, culture and context into a trim runtime, The Russian Woodpecker is surprisingly inventive, even buoyant in its presentation of several issues that could scarcely be more sobering.
The Guardian - 8/10 by Charlie PhillipsGracia succeeds brilliantly in delivering a chilling warning about where Putin and his spooks might go next, by giving Fedor full licence to act the biblical prophet.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Leslie FelperinDirector Chad Gracia’s The Russian Woodpecker offers a wild ride through Ukrainian and Soviet history.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 8/10 by Dorothy WoodendThe relationship between the Soviet Union and Ukraine takes on almost unbelievable twists and turns in this film.
