02/15/2021 Good four hander which is elevated by the level of actors to make it more than the substance of the melodramatic script See more 12/18/2018 A lifeless biopic that would have been improved by having some kind of perspective on Rand beyond just saying that she was a person who had some controversial ideas. See more 01/03/2013 Helen Mirren, need I said more? Except I absolutely love this quote: "Wise-ass Man: Excuse me, Miss Rand. I was wondering if you could give us the essence of your philosophy - standing on one leg. Ayn Rand: [Stands on one leg] Metaphysics: objective reality. Epistemology: reason. Ethics: self-interest. Politics: capitalism." See more 12/20/2012 Some of the worst philosophy ever, but not that terrible aside from that. See more Frances H 12/01/2012 This film is a well-acted (as if one could expect anything less from the great Dame Helen) drama made from the rather soap-operatic biography of Ayn Rand done by her estranged disciple Barbara Brandon. Considering that estrangement, one must question the book's veracity, and if the book's, how much more the movie's, since we all know how much attention a movie script pays to the book on which it is based. But truth is not the issue--this is a well-done, well-scripted movie which stands on its own as tale about what a truly selfish person does to hurt hurt all the people around her and ultimately ends up destroying her own happiness as well. As such, it works very well, and becomes the very embodiment of a them that would have Ayn Rand rolling in her grave. See more 09/09/2012 The Passion of Ayn Rand is a melodramatic made-for-TV movie that looks and feels like it was never meant to see the big screen. The performances are fine, but the cinematography and direction is sorely lacking. See more Read all reviews
