Critic Reviews for Eisenstein
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (4)
If you're content with a clever pseudo-bio that manages to have a good time as it doles out pieces of the famous director's life, Eisenstein delivers.
Fudges fact and fancy with such confidence that we feel as if we're seeing something purer than the real thing.
Best enjoyed as a work of fiction inspired by real-life events. Those seeking a definitive account of Eisenstein's life would do better elsewhere.
Fueled by Mr. McBurney's incandescent performance, it is a portrait of the artist as political and spiritual renegade.
Bartlett's hero remains a reactive cipher, when opening the man's head and heart is the only imaginable reason for the film to be made.
Eisenstein lacks considerable brio for a film about one of cinema's directorial giants.
