engels and marx <3. it's marxing time

So good. I would love it if this director made a follow-up at some point for Marx’s (and Engels’) years after 1848.

This smug movie seems content to just have Marx and Engels drink and always be right.

this movie is not telling a story, its telling history. the strong parts are how grounded it all is - one can see the plight of the working classes, one can see the hard times the families go through. but amidst all this they never give up, they never surrender and they fight for a better world. their passion is really shown on screen and this fire is contagious

Boring movie with boring characters. Only those who have a deep knowledge of Marx's life history perceive the film. If not, it's just a waste of time

This isn't a film for thinking, educated viewers. An idiotic adoration of communism through rose-colored glasses.

The film seems like wasted potential. Quite "nerveless" for a flim about revolutionaries.

"I borghesi [imprenditori] amano parlare della libertà, ma parlano della propria, non di quella dei lavoratori" Film ben espositivo sulla nascita del marxismo. Adesso ho una voglia matta di leggere Il Capitale e Il Manifesto del Partito Comunista.

Good to know something about Karl Marx. But it was really extremely boring.

Buena pelicula, pero como era de esperarse, se queda corta ante la magnitud colosal de la tarea de reflejar la obra, la vida, y el impacto de Marx.

El joven Karl Marx [2018]

Very well developed the story of the young marx .. I emphasize the interpretation of vicky krieps. I liked!

Incredibly outside of the comfort zone estabilished by the lame Hollywood standard, with great context, great representation of mid 1800s, a multi-language speaking cast with great acting balls, a well developed storyline and, most of all, a great movie subject which makes us notice the untold part until what we actuallly know about the foundations of communism thoughout Europe and its impact on further history of mankind.

All the big players leading to the Paris commune are here... IN A BROMANCE MOVIEEEEE!!!

Occasionally there are scenes that find the truth of being a young radical trying to save the world but mostly the movie seems content to just have Marx and Engels drink and always be right.

just the fact someone did a movie on this very subject itself gives hope.

great casting great story bravooo

Rich film that centers the struggle and development of ideas through Karl, Jenny, Friedrich, and Mary. Peck's filmmaking was dedicated whole-heartedly to the facts of their lives and the nuances of their discourse, and so he serves an intelligent piece of work very much in the revolutionary spirit. Peck says the innovation of the film might be that it progresses along the development of ideas, rather than the norm for a biopic of relationships, and I agree. A real lesson and a treat. Karl Marx welcome to the West.

Ridiculous attempt on the part of leftists (i.e. cultural Marxists) to pose communism in a positive light. This is just the cinematic equivalent of their sad narrative claiming that communism has never really been given a chance, has never failed, and should be attempted again here in the west (and elsewhere). The human toll of communism over during the 20th century alone is in excess of 100 million. Reject this dangerous leftist poison please. Then take a look to see where else it's reared its head. You can find a fair bit of it right here on RT. And for goodness sake stop allowing them to use the word "liberal" to describe themselves. They co-opted that term in the mid 50s and it isn't what they are. Not by a long shot.

Kudos for making a movie about sharp philosophical differences between 1840s radicals which is truly compelling. Marx, Engels, Proudhon, Bakunin, Weitling are all very sympathetic, because we also get more than a glimpse of what compels their work. Jenny Marx is a worthy partner to Karl, and is portrayed as such, a character with real depth, as is Mary Burns, who weds Engels. The film's climax is in early 1848, with the publication of The Communist Manifesto, and I'd actually love to see a sequel that portrays the revolutions later that year.
