I'm from Ukraine and the former USSR, and this is just a documentary...which is decent.

I looked throw the polarizing reviews. And it's rather sad. There isn't "the truth," or "pure Russian propaganda." This documentary was made before the war in Ukraine was made public to the Western World. Most of the polarizing reviews are written after the major invasion of Ukraine.Now after getting the nonsense out of the way. I really enjoyed this documentary because it gives the audience a fresh look at the Ukrainian conflict, between the East and the West. Oliver Stone I'm sure isn't a genius like Noam Chomsky but he is looking at the Ukrainian problem in this doc, from his perspective, and this is very obvious. Gray or grey...not right or wrong.What I really enjoyed about Oliver's documentary, is that I got a fresh perspective, different from the major networks from around the Globe. I go new information that I was never exposed to before. Giving me an opportunity research new material.A documentary isn't meant to be a justification for one cause or another, it's hardly two hours long! A good documentary is meant to peak your interests and open your mind to new perspectives...that is all. Any doc that claims "The Truth," is obviously just propaganda/marketing.Oliver went out of his way not to make an outright claim on knowing the answer. And this is the reason I enjoyed watching it so much. Right or wrong, I got new insightful information! Which is a lot more than what our mass media feeds us...

You know it's good when the contrariety reflected in the user reviews is as exorbitant as this;)

The vastly polarized opinions entrenched in the lion's share of these relentlessly dichotomic and heavily biased reviews are a fair indication that there is indubitably a need for such a motion picture.In any given conflict, I believe there needs to be a multitude of portrayals of all parties involved for there to ever be any semblance of a constructive process that eventually may lead to a mutually agreeable resolution. The historical knowledge of what did or did not occur is something I deem best left up to those who have lived it; at any rate most assuredly not to the ill-informed convictions of bigots who disdain any appraisal that dare dispute their dogma.
