More Critic Reviews for Genius Einstein All Critics (30) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (5) Genius is most compelling as the origins of a man who would achieve greatness, rather than an attempt to wedge that greatness into an otherwise-normal young adulthood. Apr 25, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic Getting inside of Einstein's head is quite a daunting undertaking. And National Geo passes the early exams. Apr 24, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Genius is idiotic. Apr 24, 2017 | Rating: D | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Einstein's story is worth telling and Genius is a telling worthy of the man at its heart. May 23, 2017 | Rating: 18/20 | Full Review… Lochley Shaddock FILMINK (Australia) Top Critic The series' heart, like its hero's brain, is in the right place. Apr 25, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Martin Hoyle Financial Times Top Critic [Johnny Flynn and Geoffrey Rush] injected a good dose of mischief to their characters, placing a necessary counterweight to the solemnity of a script that insisted on the value of thinking differently... [Full review in Spanish] May 4, 2018 | Full Review… Daniel Krauze El Financiero There are two wonderfully compelling reasons to catch National Geographic's ambitious first attempt at a scripted series. Their names are Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Flynn. Apr 21, 2017 | Full Review… Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer The writing from... Isaacson is equally illustrative and entertaining, utilizing the natural conflicts any of us might find in life - academic struggles, job failure, family dramatics, and romantic uncertainty - to turn Einstein from meme back into human. Apr 21, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Scott Beggs Nerdist It helps that he's played by one of the greatest actors working today, Geoffrey Rush. Apr 11, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… Bill Brioux Calgary Senior Physics geeks rejoice. Albert Einstein has his own drama series. Everyone else? Pay attention, because you may learn something.
