Los Angeles Times by

Although like the Cold War itself, the film does drag on at times, "Disco" really is a delight.

Time Out by Keith Uhlich

The fancifulness wears out its welcome, though, and you often wish the film would treat its subject with a bit more seriousness.

Movieline by Michelle Orange

It's difficult to get a firm grip on most of what Disco and Atomic War, constructed in a mish-mash collage style, has to offer.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

Disco and Atomic War describes propaganda battles between the Soviet Union and the West, with Estonian Communist officials charged to gain the upper hand, but they were helpless amid the onslaught.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Now it can be told. The erotic film "Emmanuelle" helped end the Cold War. That's one tasty tidbit from Disco and Atomic War, a subversively funny documentary.
