Accolades
“The Dissident is cut and scored much like a dramatic Hollywood thriller, happily making use of suspense-engendering editing techniques, mystery-building music and other devices to tease out all aspects of the drama” – Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s become common, if not cliché, for a critic reviewing a documentary about a turbulent real-world event to write something like, ‘It exerts the power of a true-life thriller!’ Well, make no mistake: ‘The Dissident’ does.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“[The Dissident] needs to be seen by as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.” – Nick Allen, RogertEbert.com
