( Showing 1-11 of 11 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "It may not be entirely reliable in historical terms, but it offers an intriguing impression of the man, his art and his times." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "Eisenstein lacks considerable brio for a film about one of cinema's directorial giants." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE   "It's often infuriatingly glib and posturing, and yet it has been made with great evident care and manages to deliver up the man in a way to arouse further curiosity in even the most unknowing viewer." -- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL --  Click to read the article. -- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "Eisenstein lacks considerable brio for a film about one of cinema's directorial giants." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE   "Elliptical, unsatisfactory and yet oddly compelling." -- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES   Click to read the article. -- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM --  Click to read the article. -- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY Cream of the Crop FRESH 80%   "Bartlett's hero remains a reactive cipher, when opening the man's head and heart is the only imaginable reason for the film to be made." -- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE   "Fueled by Mr. McBurney's incandescent performance, it is a portrait of the artist as political and spiritual renegade." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "Best enjoyed as a work of fiction inspired by real-life events. Those seeking a definitive account of Eisenstein's life would do better elsewhere." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "If you're content with a clever pseudo-bio that manages to have a good time as it doles out pieces of the famous director's life, Eisenstein delivers." -- John Petrakis, CHICAGO TRIBUNE   "Fudges fact and fancy with such confidence that we feel as if we're seeing something purer than the real thing." -- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
