The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

The film weaves enough social, political and personal themes into its mix to make it interesting even for those who mainly think of "hockey puck" as a Don Rickles insult.

90

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

One of the most dramatic and emotional of sports stories gets the expert film it deserves in The Russian Five, a documentary that is moving in ways you won’t see coming.

75

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

It’s a fun movie right up to the sobering reality that even the best moments are going to have sadness injected into by the cold, cruel world.
