Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: [A] magnificent piece of theater-as-cinema, with performances so intense, backgrounds so evocative, the camera so ingeniously placed and the tempo so crisp, it's impossible to be bored. – Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune, Jul 7, 2010

Rotten: The movie's promise -- to provide a balanced argument -- goes unrealized, and all we're left with is the spectacle of an idiot bullying a genius. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, Jan 15, 2004

Fresh: [Szabo's] best film in decades. – Wesley Morris, Boston Globe, Oct 5, 2003

Fresh: The movie is both interesting and unsatisfying. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, Jul 7, 2010
