Movie Reviews

Boxoffice Magazine - 10/10 by Pam GradyThe director's biggest stroke of genius was casting Baruchel.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Linda BarnardTierny's script is smart and funny although some of the jokes are likely over the heads of a teen audience, who may not be up on their Russian revolutionary lore.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunThe Trotsky is an endearing comedy that at times flirts with greatness, and those times are courtesy of Jay Baruchel's performance.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Stephen ColeThe Trotsky goes down easily and, for what it’s worth, is better mannered than most contemporary youth comedies.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 7/10 by Dorothy WoodendCertainly the film is cute in places, but the larger ideas that little Leon is messing about with are never any more than cardboard cutouts, a child's approximation of political thinking.
CinemaBlend - 7/10 by Perri NemiroffHandful of gags fall flat and those who can only handle low doses of Barchuel may grow tired of his shtick, but it's a curiously enjoyable experience and educational, too.
Times-Picayune - 6/10 by Mike ScottIf Norma Rae and Ferris Bueller's Day Off had a child, you've got to think it would probably be a lot like The Trotsky, a smart - if overlong - indie teen comedy.
Variety - 6/10 by Alissa SimonBoth cartoonish and cerebral, and studded with in-jokes referencing multicultural life in "la belle ville" and classic cinema, the colorful pic stretches its premise a bit thin over nearly two hours.
ColeSmithey.com - 6/10 by Cole SmitheyIf it weren't for Jay Baruchel's disarming charm and natural sense for comic delivery, "The Trotsky" wouldn't work anywhere near as well as it does.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisThe Trotsky runs 20 minutes too long and several rungs above the head of its target audience. And though Mr. Baruchel can be very funny in small doses -- a slacker sidekick in “Knocked Up,” a gung-ho kid in “Tropic Thunder” -- here he swiftly becomes insufferable, a neurotic nudnik in funeral director attire and John Turturro hairdo.
