Leave your thoughts about Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom.
| Tolucan TimesTony Medley...one of the more astonishing, action-packed, eye-opening films I have ever seen...a revolution shot by the revolutionaries as it happens with phones and Go Pros and also professionals...a lot more exciting than any action movie you will ever see. |
| IndiewireEric KohnWith up-close footage of police beatings and hordes of angry protestors calling for the country's president to resign, Winter on Fire features the intensity of an action movie and the fury of a clear-eyed polemic. |
| The PlaylistKen GuidryThis is a documentary that reminds you of the resiliency of the human spirit. The resourcefulness that can take place when you have nowhere else to run. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe toughness and determination of these Ukrainian people is very inspiring. However, at the end of the film, it is noted that many times more people have died since the revolution in the following Russian-Ukrainian conflicts. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelThis powerful documentary puts faces and feelings onto distant politics and provides vital background on what's at stake for the people of Ukraine. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis is what a revolution in the 21st century looks like. Spoiler: The power of ridicule when Facebook journalists are watching is vast. |
| Under the RadarKyle Mullin{An] all-too-brief, meticulously researched, and deeply jarring account of the Ukrainian people's uprising ... an absolute must-see. |
| TheWrapTricia OlszewskiThe documentary is a testament to the human spirit, to unity in times of depravation, to the ability of common individuals to effect change at the highest level. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectGets the street fighting and the voices of the participants right but little else. Ukraine still needs a documentary that includes scholarly experts as well as footage of fighting on the barricades. |
| Slant MagazineOleg IvanovThis is activist filmmaking that manages to be both angry and elegiac in its recounting of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. |
