The cinema's first modernist... was the Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein. As his most famous work, Battleship Potemkin, from 1925, shows, his analytical, quasi-scientific methods bore the mark of both aesthetic and political upheavals.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Fresh
The director displays a vivid imagination and an artistic appreciation of motion picture values.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times

For all Potemkin's rabble-rousing propaganda, Eisenstein's aestheticism is everywhere apparent.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

It is a knockout.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
