The Rider Named Death Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There are few real revelations to be found among these curiously dispassionate radicals, making the overall experience sort of like seeing the movie, instead of reading the book.
New York Times
Dana Stevens
If you like your antiheroes tall, pale and existential, you won't do better than Georges, the anti-czarist assassin at the heart of Karen Shakhnazarov's historical drama Rider Named Death.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The force of the film is not as profound as Shakhnazarov clearly intended, and The Rider Named Death is easier to respect than enjoy.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Shakhnazarov's film effortlessly captures the times and the author's conflicted yet unyielding attitude, yet it never draws any conclusions -- the film remains under glass. It's watchable, nevertheless.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
It's worth a look; maybe there's more to Georges's blank slate than can be gleaned on one viewing, and the beginning and end of the film are worth the price of admission.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
... a colorful, bustling recreation of 1906 Moscow and an unexpectedly uneasy view of this people's revolution.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
You have to wonder why Shakhnazarov, one of Russian's most experienced filmmakers, didn't take more care with the script.

Kent Turner
This is one of the rare films where you can not only see, but feel the sweat.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Think of it as a dark, suspenseful scenario penned by Joseph Conrad and designed by Toulouse-Lautrec and Auguste Renoir, and jump right in.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Exquisite, self-contained curio.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Shakhnazarov's movie doesn't quite rise to the possibilities, preferring a slack narrative line, an oddly underpopulated urban vibe, and an overall air of life-is-cheap detachment.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Could have been livelier and more suspenseful given the subject matter, but it remains effectively made throughout.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
Political film short on politics
Patheos
Eve Tushnet
Mostly a straightforward story of revolutionary failure-and the slowly-growing acknowledgment that violence inevitably spreads, crossing every moral boundary you think you've set, and toppling, as it spreads, some kind of necessary structure in the soul.
E! Online
The film gives viewers a rare glimpse of prerevolutionary Moscow. And be happy that it's only a glimpse.
