Steve Simels · TV Guide Magazine 90.00/100.00
Stunningly cinematic and audacious on every level, writer/director Tim Robbins's look at the collision of the Depression-era art world and politics may well be a masterpiece.

Russell Smith · Austin Chronicle 78.00/100.00
Commands respect as mainstream filmmaking with more of an agenda than just pimping cinematic junk food to the brain-dead masses.
Jay Carr · Boston Globe 75.00/100.00
Brings the '30s vividly to the screen.
Lisa Schwarzbaum · Entertainment Weekly 75.00/100.00
Robbins the agitprop celebrity may be blowin' in the wind, but Robbins, the son of a folksinger, knows how to get audiences clapping along.
Lawrence Toppman · Charlotte Observer 75.00/100.00
It's packed with such passion, humor, fine acting in small roles - there are no big ones - and vitality in the storytelling that the lesson comes across entertainingly.
Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 75.00/100.00
It needs a study guide, and viewing "Citizen Kane" might be a good place to start.
