…a moving, sobering film that looks at the delicate balance between success and failure, and the personal cost that can go with freedom…

The film, directed by Ardit Sadiku’, is arresting at times, especially when Gruda and others tell the courageous and ultimately tragic story. It would make a much better narrative feature.

8/10

Alexander is a standard documentary in presentation. But the choice of subject, Gruda, and his story are absorbing. By the time the credits roll, Gruda comes to represent all humans who wish for a better way of life, not just for themselves but everyone.
