Rating: 2/5 --
Whilst the message of peace and reconciliation is undoubtedly worthy, The Man Who Saved the World is communicated in a distinctly clunky and occasionally patronising fashion, with a televisual feel.

One Room With A View
Even if it does feature Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov visiting America to be feted at the United Nations and rubbing elbows with glitterati, the film is a disingenuous, thoroughly dramatized reenactment at best and a reality show at worst.

The Man Who Saved the World remains an interesting and unique telling of an important story.

Fan The Fire
An idiosyncratic portrait of a man whose life went to hell after he did the planet a major favor.

Film Journal International
Petrov is such a potent figure that he survives the heavy-handedness, but he is in some ways best served by Sergey Shnyryov's fantastic rendering of him in flashback.

Village Voice
Rating: 3/5 --
The present and the past are smoothly sutured together by deft editing and an insistently mournful string score, although it's sometimes a bit repetitive.

Rating: 3/5 --
The Man Who Saved the World's oddly conflicting styles creates a strange uncertainty -- making it hard to gauge precisely whether the narration is reliable, despite the fact that these are true events.
