- The film is well-paced, tightly edited and engaging, and at times, it’s quite inspiring.
- 67Austin ChronicleMatthew MonagleAustin ChronicleMatthew MonagleTankian 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.
