By focusing less on his characters and more on a supposed dark side of Russian hockey, Polsky's film is less documentary than it is didacticism. Aug 1, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Who knew that a documentary on the Soviet Union's Red Army ice hockey team would be so gripping and provide a perfect microcosm of the stages of the Cold War, Perestroika and Putin's reign? Oct 8, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a mark of Polsky's ambition and canniness that he braids hockey not just with geopolitics but also with personal history and human drama. Mar 12, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Polsky keeps things lively, both visually and with his editing. But the sometimes-lighthearted approach never undermines the serious business at hand. Mar 5, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

I'm not much of a sportsman, much less a hockey fan, but this meticulously crafted documentary is a knockout. Jan 9, 2020 | Full Review…

Red Army ultimately fails to deliver anything other than a superficial account of the USSR's sporting history and the role of sport in the Soviet Union. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Red Army is most stirring when it examines the painful inner-struggle of these men who left behind a country and government that took a heavy toll on their lives, but who could also never abandon their innate sense of nationalistic pride. Mar 19, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

What makes "Red Army" so interesting is how it also works as a statement on what it was like from the Soviet perspective during the Cold War era. Jan 22, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The story loses some of its grip after Glasnost and the eventual move of many of the top Russian players to the big money ranks of the NHL, but Fetisov is a fascinating, complex character, a real Russian soul. Aug 22, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
