Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This doc gets so close to the action that your eyes will sting from the burning tyre smoke.
– Cath Clarke,
Time Out,
16 Feb 2015
fresh:
"Maidan" is a film of scale and immediacy, finding artistry, for better or worse, in bearing witness.
– Ben Kenigsberg,
New York Times,
11 Dec 2014
fresh:
In contrast with most documentaries made in the wake of an historic event, "Maidan" will last beyond the current Ukrainian upheaval to stand as compelling witness and a model response to a seminal moment too fresh to be fully processed.
– Jay Weissberg,
Variety,
9 Dec 2014
fresh:
Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa's Maidan harkens back to the heroic, journalistic roots of documentary-making and yet feels ineffably modern and formally daring.
– Leslie Felperin,
Hollywood Reporter,
9 Dec 2014
fresh:
Easily the most rigorous, vital, and powerful movie of 2014, Sergei Loznitsa's Maidan may be a perfect Bazinian cinema-machine - reality is captured, crystallized, honored for its organic complexity, and delivered unpoisoned by exposition or emphasis.
