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.

[S]pirited, enthralling and ultimately inspiring. In this swift, smart, often very funny film, Polsky takes an unprecedented look at the legendary Soviet-era hockey program and its life after glasnost...

Rating: 4/5 --
Who knew that a documentary on the Soviet Union's Red Army ice hockey team would be so gripping and provide a perfect microcosm of the stages of the Cold War, Perestroika and Putin's reign?

Times (UK)
This stirring, crazy story -- a Russian novel of Tolstoyan sweep and Gogol-esque absurdity -- is recounted in RED ARMY, Gabe Polsky’s jaunty collage of a documentary.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
The story loses some of its grip after Glasnost and the eventual move of many of the top Russian players to the big money ranks of the NHL, but Fetisov is a fascinating, complex character, a real Russian soul.

The Herald (Scotland)
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: B --
What makes "Red Army" so interesting is how it also works as a statement on what it was like from the Soviet perspective during the Cold War era.
