Gorbachev. Heaven

Excellent, excellent film... Most interesting of course is that we are watching how Mikhail Gorbachev is reacting to Vladimir Putin.

A poetic portrait of a poignant political afterlife.

More poetic character study than exacting political profile.

I got very impatient with this film. It is interesting to hear Gorbachev talk... [But] he really doesn't say very much.

Maybe it's just a sad elegy to a lost cause. Whatever one might think of it, Gorbachev. Heaven is a testament to survival, however lonely.

Explores the major moments in his political career and gives him the opportunity to reminisce about the past.
