The traditionally silent country erupted: protesting against the corrupted regime of the current president, his appointed "heir" and pressure from neighboring Russia. That was the beginning of the Orange Revolution. Once again the eternal conflict between the powers and the people cast the dark threat of bloodshed upon the country. The feature documentary essay chronicles these crucial days in the history of the country and reflects on the fate of the nation. [More]

The deliberate narration feels at stylistic odds with the socially visceral imagery, but this artistic juxtaposition lends its portrayed events an appropriately mythic tinge.

[Doc's] failure to systematically lay clear, linear historical groundwork for the events of late 2004 and 2005 is obviously deliberate, but without it the film is unenlightening to anyone not already conversant with the history of modern Ukraine.

Orange Winter is more than a mere history lesson. [This] movie characterizes a body politic as a living thing,and charts its internal changes as if it were the protagonist in a drama.

Gives us little more than vacation footage coupled with an eighth-grade history report.

Andrei Zagdansky's tedious time capsule of the event makes peculiar assumptions about audience familiarity with Ukrainian politics beyond what trickled into the headlines, blowing past potentially fascinating story threads for 72 minutes of pure B-roll.
