The film is well-paced, tightly edited and engaging, and at times, it’s quite inspiring.

IndieWire by Christian Blauvelt
Truth to Power is a promotional film, not a work of journalism.
Austin Chronicle by Matthew Monagle
Tankian has crafted a movie with an overt political ideology and cast himself as the well-intentioned face of a cultural revolution. But none of this takes away from the issues at the center of the film – public recognition of the Armenian genocide for one, the enduring challenges of democracy in post-Soviet countries for another – and the countless people who looked to Tankian and System of a Down to help spread their stories across the world.
Despite his dabbling in many indulgences, Serj Tankian doesn’t come off as shallow or particularly superficial here. But this documentary almost does.
RogerEbert.com by Simon Abrams
Hovannisian's documentary would be much more convincing if he picked a single aspect of Tankian’s activism—or composing, or personality—and considered it in greater detail.
