Reviews for Guerrilla
Soderbergh's Che is a visually-striking ode to guerrilla warfare and revolutionary zeal but as a character study, his complicated protagonist still remains an enigma.
The film marches along at its own disinterested pace, rarely explaining which moments might be important than others or even the roles of some key characters.
Too emotionally dry to embrace but too ingenious to dismiss, Che is a fascinating, problematic film.
It is art, in the very best way. And Soderbergh's achievement as an artist is undeniable.
Commendable in political details, the problem with Soderbergh's tale is not its epic length (260 minutes) but its uneven script and lack of discernible POV, but the film is ambitious, intriguing and deserves credit for defying Hollywood biopic format.
