Che (2008)

One thing’s for certain: whether it’s a meditation on guerrilla warfare, on Che or on moviemaking itself, you’ve seen nothing like it and are unlikely to ever again.

Che offers a long look at a man who gave up comfort and power in Cuba for a lot of suffering in the wilds of Bolivia.

[E]xists as a matter of Guevara's perspective. Soderbergh and Del Toro -- this truly is a tour de force performance -- puts us so totally into his head that it's impossible not to sympathize with him.

The director has approached his subject as the complicated human being he was in life, not the overblown symbol he has become since his death.

I found this four-hours-plus movie sheer torture to watch during most of its long running time. 'Che' seems more like a guerilla handbook than a film.

As absorbing as it is frustrating.

... a revelation, an enlightening analysis of a man whose devotion to a political movement defined his life.

It’s hard to know which scene, where the men are tired, hungry and ill-equipped, is more or less important than the others.
