Today, he's one of the world's most famous political prisoners. A story of Shakespearean proportions, The New York Times has reported on Khodorkovsky in both its news and op-ed pages. Fascinating interviews with Khodorkovsky (sometimes sitting in a glass box in the courtroom), members of his family, and others portray a country transformed from its moribund Communist past to one in which power-hungry politicians are abetted by a corrupt, drunken and cynical younger generation. Stark black and white animated sequences help tell an amazing back-story that plays like a political thriller. -- (C) Kino Lorber

New Review For Movie Khodorkovsky
Tuschi has a sharp sense of tempo and shot composition, and he obviously knows how to ask questions, because he gets good answers.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic Helps to make Khodorkovsky more of a reality than the enigma he threatens to become.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out "Khodorkovsky" is a curious and admirable documentary, the product of one filmmaker's inability to let go of a story.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle Navigating a tangled tale such as this is like entering a hall of mirrors. "Khodorkovsky" doesn't do a good enough job of Windexing them.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's a perfect fit for the blend of Greek tragedy, spaghetti Western and judicial farce that defines business and politics in the New Russia.
Ella Taylor-NPR The gripping documentary "Khodor-kovsky'' tells how Russia's richest man became its most famous political prisoner.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post It may be fuzzy around its edges, but inside it's hard as steel.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express As Tuschi's film digs deeper, it seems to offer less information. Clearly, many people have been, and still are, affected by this phantom of a subject. This story is not over.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-San Francisco Examiner Features frank, informative interviews (including one with Khodorkovsky after his second trial) and raises some important questions.
Philip French-Observer [UK] A documentary that takes fewer prisoners than Putin's KGB, Tuschi's study of Russian power politics is smart, scary and sobering.
Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine Tuschi paints a complex portrait of corrupted power.
Paul M. Bradshaw-Little White Lies This film is a commanding insight into Putin's Russia.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Tuschi collates the evidence masterfully - TV footage, documents, interviews with ex-colleagues - to substantiate what much of the world is already convinced of.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times A convincing picture of a principled man prepared to become a jailed martyr if that's what it took to rally the people behind him.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies An interview with Khodorkovsky, vox pops with ordinary Russians and some weird animation fail to secure contributions of great significance, let alone clarify basic issues of guilt or innocence.
-Scotsman It's an engaging, personal story full of moving details.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall Edged with cynicism and wit, Tuschi's film can't hide its admiration - but real answers lurk tantalisingly out of reach.
Jonathan Crocker-Total Film There is a Catch 22 lurking in the murkiness of this film but most will be challenged to find it.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics If Khodorkovsky is not making an especially new argument, it is making it forcefully and engagingly. The form constitutes its own politics, pure or not.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters A fascinating documentary more about Khodorkovsky the "player" than about the social and political contradictions of post-Soviet Russia.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews It's unlikely to enflame American audiences with less of a stake in Russia's political goings-on, but works as a persuasive portrait of a politically toxic situation.

Khodorkovsky, the richest Russian, challenges President Putin. A fight of the titans begins. Putin warns him. But Khodorkovsky comes back to Russia knowing that he will be imprisoned, once he returns. When I heard about it, I asked myself: why didn't he stay in exile with a couple of billions? Why did he do that? A personal journey to Khodorkovsky.
