About This Movie

Rich Hall's Red Menace feels like a quirky blend of humor and serious reflection, which is classic Hall. It’s not a typical documentary; the pacing sways between informative and almost casual, which keeps the viewer engaged. The atmosphere is undeniably thick with nostalgia, especially considering it came out in 2019, marking three decades since the Berlin Wall fell. Hall's unique take on the historical relationship between the West and the USSR is peppered with his trademark wit. There are moments that feel like a deep dive, while others have that almost conversational vibe. It’s this blend of styles that makes it stand out in the sea of documentaries about the Cold War era. A real look at history through a different lens, for sure.
