What to Know

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. Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday A worthy biopic in some respects but it doesn't complicate its subject enough to resonate. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 25, 2020 Full Review Kate Erbland 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 Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Keith Garlington 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 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Greg Wetherall 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 Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Kathia Woods 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 Feb 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Nikhil K 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Elspeth F I thoroughly enjoyed it.
