Peterloo proves writer-director Mike Leigh's populist anger remains undimmed - but that righteous fury occasionally overpowers the narrative.

It's talky, but a lot of the talk is quite interesting and passionate. It's sort of like being in a really good town hall meeting. September 27, 2019 | Full Review…

Still, it is a powerful, important part of anger-fueled history and is worth seeing. May 21, 2019 | Full Review…

Crucial to Leigh's very British notion of democracy is a commitment to showing people as they really are -- or as he sees them, in all their knobbly imperfections. Crucial, too, is the fact that even an epic like Peterloo remains a film without heroes. May 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A bit of ruthlessness in editing - a good hour or so - would certainly make "Peterloo" a better film. April 19, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

There's a universality to the issues "Peterloo" explores. And, once you get through all the speechmaking, it provides an emotional kick that will resonate anywhere. April 18, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

In the end, the extensive length takes its toll until the historical narrative is no longer interesting. It's a minor Leigh movie. [Full review in Spanish] July 30, 2020 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Yes, Leigh still knows how to mount a handsome production. He just doesn't go past that here. July 25, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Leigh presents history as breaking news and as augury: The age of 'gilded reptiles' -- to borrow a labor agitator's characterization of the 19th-century ruling class -- is with us still. June 22, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Even when constrained by the small spaces of peasant quarters or interiors lit only by candlelight, the film is a visual achievement of beauty and authenticity. February 11, 2020 | Full Review…
