Winter on Fire isn't a perfect documentary, but it is a perfect example of the power of the people can bring about change when they rally to overthrow a president who doesn't serve their best interests.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2019

While the film's informational value is almost non-existent, its emotional knobs are turned up to the max.

| Nov 11, 2017

Winter on Fire omits key facts, which results in an audience whose understanding of Ukraine's history, politics, regions, sociological makeup, and languages is extremely limited (or nonexistent) receiving a one-sided view of developments in Ukraine.

The act of gathering these narratives into one place is of obviously clear value. But that's the starting point of journalism, not the end.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 10, 2016

This is what a revolution in the 21st century looks like. Spoiler: The power of ridicule when Facebook journalists are watching is vast.

| Feb 17, 2016

Plays out like a harrowingly bloody, real-life "Les Miserables."

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 11, 2016

This is a heavy documentary where the director and his team became actual war correspondants... you can't miss it. [Full review in Spanish]

Extremely accessible, but also often thrilling. If you were never entirely up to date on what was actually happening in Ukraine two years ago, Evgeny Afineevsky's film is an excellent starting point.

| Original Score: B | Jan 20, 2016

The toughness and determination of these Ukrainian people is very inspiring. However, at the end of the film, it is noted that many times more people have died since the revolution in the following Russian-Ukrainian conflicts.

| Original Score: B | Jan 11, 2016

This powerful documentary puts faces and feelings onto distant politics and provides vital background on what's at stake for the people of Ukraine.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 8, 2016

'You are there' documentary chronicling just how quickly a civilization can collapse into chaos and revolution.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 4, 2016

This is a Jerry Bruckheimer approach to televising the revolution.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 17, 2015

Captured the revolutionary spirit of the Ukrainians.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 29, 2015

{An] all-too-brief, meticulously researched, and deeply jarring account of the Ukrainian people's uprising ... an absolute must-see.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Oct 17, 2015

Being able to bear witness firsthand to this three-month struggle is an incredible privilege, albeit a heartbreaking one.

| Oct 14, 2015

Brutal but inspiring docu about 2013-14 Ukrainian uprising.
