Truly Dreadful Film

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

To start with the positive: The movie is well-made, nice but sometimes really shocking and graphic pictures showing Kiev at war. I really liked the individual approach of getting to know the background stories of some of the people involved. However, and that it is why it got some points deducted - it is terribly one-sided. One has no idea how the government reacts to it or what they do to calm the situation. It would have been nice to include a local as well as a global insight into politics here. Furthermore, a link to how things are now is missing too. A simple reference in the credits on how this has developed into a division of the country would have been sufficient (at least for me).

After seeing for the first time i wonder a few questions.You can see a lot of peolpes opinions in Euromaidan. But all of them belongs, or pretends to, the bourguoise. You will not see not a single working class person.The thing is that Doc. shows only one part of the whole thing, and thats turns it in merely propaganda. By the way, the violins and the melodrama music all through is pretty pathetic. Don't need violins to teel how to think.Unfortunately, for the people of Ukraine they are between 2 forces and that part of the region is crusial for both of them. The best for you people.

Winter on Fire is about Ukrainians and their idealism and bravery. it puts you there on ground with activist for one and half hour. the Director and his team makes you feel like they are actual war correspondents. and the in between conversation with the people who witness this event in actual in truly inspirational.The brutality of Berkut(Ukrainian force) is totally intolerable in the documentary. but the Courage of Ukrainians will always motivate you that the Power in United with People and No buddy Not any Government can defeat it by use of any Force or by Violation.The Documentary is punctiliously researched, and deeply jolting account of the Ukrainian people's uprising. Must Watch.

As these events occurred an extremely recent history, I followed the events that took place loosely, with what I could regard as having an informed opinion of them – although not the full picture. What Winter On Fire achieves is to bring you face-to-face with the events that occurred over those months, something that it captures excellently. Hats off to all involved, and again shows how Netflix is asserting it's dominance and reputation.Beautifully edited and extremely linear, what I was impressed most with is WoF's attention to detail in showing the audience the struggles and turmoil of this dark period in Maidan. The piece really does immerse, with some very captivating hand-held shots.Winter On Fire is definitely worth the time, and am struggling not to give it a higher star rating – as far as the film goes it is brilliant. Where this film does potentially lack, however, is that it would need to include a more well-rounded view of all the surrounding events; I am aware that this film is an account of those involved, but needs more description around outside events.
