[Soderbergh's] direction is flawless; choppy editing, a muddy pallet and a camera that gets up close and personal with every facet of the fight, however small, effectively making the viewer part of the revolution.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 4, 2019

It seems the most important point the director wanted to make was that Mr. Guevara accomplished all he did while fighting terrible asthma attacks.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2018

Soderbergh's austere narration and intent to wilfully frustrate a conventional, hagiographical account of Che will alienate, but the steadfastness of this approach bears fruit

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2018

At times it is beguiling, but Soderbergh is no Malick, and trying to copy him is a bad move.

| Nov 1, 2018

Superbly filmed by director Steven Soderbergh, and Del Toro's immersive performance in the title role is of the highest class.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2018

Ultimately, whatever the eventual shape this movie comes in, it is bravura, ambitious film-making and a welcome, post-Ocean's 11 return to serious form from this talented director.

Titanic work, obviously ambitious with extraordinary performances and a history that (pardon the redundancy) made history. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2018

where Part One is the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and Che's part in making it a success, Part Two is the failure of the dream in Bolivia and the desperation and the failure is felt in more jarring camerawork.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 18, 2011

After the exhilaration of Part One, the mood of Part Two seems somber, almost funereal, but it's integral to the story.

| Aug 16, 2011

As a standalone film this is far less enjoyable than the first, but there is enough in here to engage and entertain for the duration.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 14, 2011

Part Two is the more interesting film. ... Gorgeously shot in a lyrically linear style, with combat often depicted with carefully composed extreme long shots,

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2010

Soderbergh has no interest in sentimentality, or back story, or even really in Guevara's philosophy, except as a rigorously footnoted onscreen reflection. Practically rejecting outright the concept of poetic license, Che is radical as a biopic.

| Original Score: 8.9/10 | Jun 13, 2010

Certainly Soderbergh gives you a sense of the boredom of war - as the days tick by on the screen, you feel your own will to live begin to falter.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 29, 2009

... a deeply interesting and commercially brave movie, one that recognizes the limits inherent in cinematic biography. It is meant to be experienced, not sounded for meanings, and is weakest when Soderbergh caves into his poetic impulses...

| Original Score: 87/100 | Mar 27, 2009

The film's narrative flow is less driven by events, which are revealed in spurts, but are drawn along as their inevitable consequences.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2009

The film quickly turns into what can best be described as a lot of wandering around in the Bolivian jungle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2009

At this length, that's an unforgivable sin.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 27, 2009

The persuasiveness of the film's reconstructions is impressive, but there is hardly ever any tension. It's hard to tell exactly what Soderbergh was hoping to achieve.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2009
