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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 25, 2022

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 20, 2021

Sergio ultimately leaves the impression that it's a trite portrayal of a richly layered and complicated life that is presented much better in the Sergio documentary.

Ana de Armas' performance is the highlight of this scattered biopic that fails to capture the legacy of its leading character. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2020

True story of UN diplomat in Iraq; violence, sex, language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2020

It is ultimately disappointing to see such an inspiring real-life figure get such an uninspired epitaph.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2020

Although the [romantice scenes] are filmed atmosphericly, they don't do much to advance the plot. [Full review in Spanish]

The film never lets any situation breathe, as it is constantly changing time and place. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2020

A fairly conventional narrative structure of flashbacks in which the diplomat reconstructs his later years. [Full Review in Spanish]

Perennially political director Greg Barker's dramatisation of chunks of the life of UN diplomat Sérgio Vieira de Mello has its problems but is grounded by a tremendous performance from Wagner Moura...

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 29, 2020

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

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 25, 2020

A tribute to a great hero, a man called simply 'Sergio.' It's a true story that needs told. We lack heroes in this man's mold.

| Apr 22, 2020

As an overview it works, but it perhaps tries to be too many things.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2020

Narcos star Wagner Moura and Ana de Armas steam up the screen in compelling and important new Netflix drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 22, 2020

While what Sérgio Vieira de Mello did was undoubtedly important, this film does little to make his life seem dramatic or even interesting. Its out-of-sequence narrative adds nothing.

| Apr 21, 2020

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?

| Original Score: C | Apr 21, 2020

It was good to be reminded of this man and the good men trying to make the world a better place.

| Apr 20, 2020

As Craig Borten's script leans more and more on romance, the film flounders.
