Review of Trotsky

Trotsky (2017)
8/10
Part of me wishes this were more of a documentary.

I agree with the other comments wrt it's dramatic value and historically dubious facts but as soon as I started watching it I knew Much was missing and went to refresh my memory on the history and facts surrounding Trotsky's life. It's a good production with great acting that keeps true to the major facts, a good intro for most people. And if the fill in some of the gaps with some more historical information they will enjoy the program even more. I hope it spurs them to read more on the topic the Russian revolution and it's main characters because it is so interesting and filled with deceit, violence and terror. It couldn't be captured in one series or a couple of seasons of episodes.
