Critics Consensus

While the real-life story that inspired Sergio is certainly worthy of a biopic, its misguided approach to its noble subject adds up to a disappointingly shallow drama.

Steve Pond

TheWrap

The new "Sergio" isn't as seamless or as powerful as Barker's work in the nonfiction arena, but it takes chances and finds some real lyricism along the way.

A worthy biopic in some respects but it doesn't complicate its subject enough to resonate.

Rated: 2.5/4

IndieWire

Even Moura and de Armas' sizzling chemistry presents its own problems to an already hobbled feature; why, after all, is this biopic about an exceptional human built mostly around a love affair?

Rated: C

Keith & the Movies

We end up with an almost saintly portrait that glosses over milestones, mostly skips internal conflicts, and favors a passionate yet overcooked romance.

Rated: 2/5

NME (New Musical Express)

As a slice of old-fashioned drama Sergio ticks all the boxes but, unlike the man himself, it is no notable game-changer.

Rated: 3/5

Cup of Soul

There is a disconnect by Screenwriter Craig Borton to paint a full picture; instead, we keep getting pieces of a puzzle that doesn't connect.

Rated: 4/10

I liked it. It's nice biopic, you actually feel for him. Don't understand so many negative reviews. Although, this is something not regularly you watch and maybe that is what keep disappointing general audience.

His struggle to survive brought back many memories with his lover and co-workers when he sought Timor Leste's independence from Indonesia. The Good Movie. 🥰
