"Meeting Gorbachev," though consistently engaging, is less a fireworks display than a fireside chat, and so feels curiously like an opportunity missed. Sep 21, 2018 | Full Review…

Herzog's film may not be the final word on Gorbachev, but it is affectionate and candid and leaves audiences in a melancholy mood about the sometimes short-lived nature of reform. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review…

It's ultimately because of Gorbachev's seeming unwillingness to fit the director's usual mold that Meeting Gorbachev is able to become such a different and engaging bio-doc. Sep 4, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Herzog has a knack for extracting pithy, poetic responses from his subjects, but here he outdoes himself. Sep 17, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Gorbachev turns out to be one of the most fascinating political figures of our time. All thanks to Herzog's keen eye. Sep 10, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Herzog is,an affable and curious interlocutor, and Gorbachev is engaged and on point, insightfully discussing his nation's past and present. But there's a slightness to the thing, as if this was a nice diversion for both men between projects. Sep 6, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
