Navalny

"There’s a scene with a phone call that should be on any list of the best documentary moments in recent memory. It’s like capturing lightning on film."

"This startling, terrifying documentary... offers up a potted history of Navalny’s anti-Putin, pro-democracy activism."

"Navalny' may not resonate with the same power as something like 'The Great Dictator', but... (it) evinces a similar understanding of what power fears the most."

"I left (the theatre) feeling hollow and angry. Like I’d been manipulated using methods pioneered and perfected under the long-gone Soviet regime of my childhood."

"Roher has assembled a tense and absorbing look at Navalny and his inner circle."

"Documentary filmmaking is rarely this urgent or apt."

"This is undoubtedly one of the most thrilling documentaries to be released this, or any, year."

"A must-watch documentary..."

"Canadian film-maker Daniel Roher is frustratingly vague on Navalny's politics, too admiring to get into his subject's nationalist past."

"Jaw-dropping and tense, though without room for depth."
