Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Polsky keeps things lively, both visually and with his editing. But the sometimes-lighthearted approach never undermines the serious business at hand.

Arizona Republic
Rating: 4/4 --
Fascinating, funny, heroic, moving and may even make hockey fans out of nonbelievers.

Newsday
4 stars out of 5 -- The interviews are as entertaining as the slick interplay on the ice.
Empire
RED ARMY is a deceptive name for a charming documentary. Even if you know it's the story of a legendary hockey team and not the fierce Soviet-era military machine, you will be surprised by its sociopolitical and personal content and the engaging way it tells its story.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/5 --
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.

Little White Lies
Rating: 8/10 --
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.

Way Too Indie
3.5 stars out of 4 -- In Gabe Polsky’s RED ARMY, the Iron Curtain surrounding the Soviet dynasty is pulled back to reveal an immensely effective but dehumanizing machine in which hockey served as an important propaganda tool...
Chicago Sun-Times
Product Description:
Gabe Polsky's documentary RED ARMY charts how the Soviet national hockey team dominated international competition in that sport for years. He also reveals how one of the country's most celebrated athletes, Slava Fatisov, worked for change within his country that led to losing the admiration of his countrymen.
