      Audience Member What a failure. Only passable because it's based on Eisenstein's life and that is the only interesting thing about this movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Petrakis Chicago Tribune 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. Rated: 3/4 Aug 22, 2002 Full Review Jan Stuart Newsday Fudges fact and fancy with such confidence that we feel as if we're seeing something purer than the real thing. Jan 2, 2002 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 2, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jun 25, 2005 Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com Rated: 2/4 Mar 5, 2002 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International It's often infuriatingly glib and posturing, and yet it has been made with great evident care and manages to deliver up the man in a way to arouse further curiosity in even the most unknowing viewer.
