This extremely exciting documentary shows in a shocking and captivating way the poison attack and attempted murder of Alexey Navalny with some WTF moments. RIP.

Another fascist who told half of his life before prison about the need to capture all neighboring countries for his "great country". Another madman who "fought" not for the democracy of people or the country, but for the Throne, for the opportunity to rule all these people who don't care who you are. They will love any king. Another stupid propaganda

After watching this documentary, you realise how brave and self-confident Nawalny is, because not everyone can fight against the regime in Russia. Only after watching this documentary can you realise how dangerous Putin really is and what he will do to stay in power. I don't know how Navalny goes on and on. After all the challenges, he keeps going and tries to fight against the regime. At the end it is sad to see how the wife of Nawalny reacts to everything, how people support Nawalny so that finally there is democracy again in Russia. I now have a great respect for Nawalny and his actions. I wish that he achieves his goal. In my opinion, everyone should watch this documentary.

I admire Alexei Navalny's resistance and struggle, but in filmic and thematic terms the documentary is nothing special because all the information comes from him. Nothing gets through the wall of Putin and his dictatorship. And it's not that I question what has happened to him, far from it, but there is more material missing than what he exposes, especially if it is to show the world what a corrupt monster he says Russia is.

Алексей, раскрыл для всего мира, то что скрыто от мирового сообщества! Преступная власть бандитов и убийц! Алексей, молодец! Россия будет свободной!

Propaganda. This guy was corrupt as sin, a liar, wanted to get rid of "foreigners" from Russia and was a tool in regime change operations constructed by US & UK. The two individuals that poisoned him are the following: Maria Pevchikh (Russian opposition, MI6), Katerina Tereshkina (Russian opposition, MI6) [as seen in Nation News CCTV footage of the three]

Alexei Navalny is a larger than life figure, and this documentary greatly recounts the dramatic and thrilling events surrounding him.

Putin must be tired of these films exposing his dark secrets. 'Navalny' is an essential testimony of how freedom of speech is the most important ingredient of democracy. Unexpectedly, this documentary is hilarious, portraying the top figure in the Russian opposition in a light-hearted way. Daniel Roher, of course, barely touches the controversial links between Alexei Navalny and the far right, but at least it doesn't shy away from addressing it. In the end, 'Navalny' is a good piece of filmmaking that showcases the power of real journalism and the sparkle that could change an entire country.

Uncovering evidence of scandalous political corruption can be quite a feat. Doing so when it involves those at the highest level of power can be revolutionary, making it possible to reform an existing regime. But exposing a plot by ruthless autocrats to clandestinely murder the competition in a supposedly fair election is downright appalling. Such is the case in director Daniel Roher's damning HBO documentary chronicling the efforts of a team of intrepid investigators who surreptitiously collect evidence of a calculated assassination attempt sanctioned by Russian President Vladimir Putin against opposition candidate Alexei Navalny. When the anti-corruption activist and presidential contender fell ill and nearly died from an attempted poisoning using the Novichok nerve agent, foul play by those at the highest levels of Russian politics was strongly suspected, but definitively proving it was another matter. However, while Navalny recovered in Germany, he began diligently looking into the matter with the assistance of a team of journalists and other colleagues. What they found was truly disturbing, but catching the culprits red-handed with bona fide proof was comparably astounding, setting off an international firestorm in advance of Navalny's much anticipated, potentially dangerous return home to Russia. The filmmaker captures all of this intrigue as it happens, making for a captivating watch, one that should trouble -- and rouse -- anyone concerned about fairness, justice and common human dignity. It's a work that simultaneously inspires and infuriates and, regrettably, shows just how much more work we have ahead of us as a species to address fundamental issues that shouldn't even require a second thought.

Для русского зрителя - тут мало чего нового! А для запада - тут много чего есть!

A really wonderful movie.

Navalny is what Russia needs now, true freedom and democracy. He carries the flame and hope of the people to break free from the chains of Putin's kleptocracy.

One of the most AMAZING & THRILLING Documentaries this Documentary Buff has ever seen! 20 Thumbs UP!!

On any objective measure, this is more exciting and suspenseful than any fictional spy outing. It's all the more poignant and urgent given Navalny's current predicament. Presented here is a clear eyed view of a true and relatable hero unmasking a murderous regime that's been seeking to hide in plain sight behind state sponsored fake news. If Navalny's efforts partially unmasked that regime's evil intent then the current Ukraine war has surely let the world now see the real monster behind it. I'm guessing that the negative user reviews are being generated from Russian state propaganda agencies like Internet Research Agency so all the more reason to get out and see this - don't let the trolls win.
