Critic Reviews

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    Twice as long as it needs to be, but it is also only half the movie it should have been.

  • Kelly Vance, East Bay Express

    After the exhilaration of Part One, the mood of Part Two seems somber, almost funereal, but it's integral to the story.

  • Mike Edwards, What Culture

    As a standalone film this is far less enjoyable than the first, but there is enough in here to engage and entertain for the duration.

  • Matt Kelemen, Las Vegas CityLife

    Part Two is the more interesting film. ... Gorgeously shot in a lyrically linear style, with combat often depicted with carefully composed extreme long shots,

  • Ian Buckwalter, DCist

    Soderbergh has no interest in sentimentality, or back story, or even really in Guevara's philosophy, except as a rigorously footnoted onscreen reflection. Practically rejecting outright the concept of poetic license, Che is radical as a biopic.

    A sprawling, epic look at the life of Che Guevara through the lense of Steven Soderbergh. Del Toro is brilliant in the lead.

    Say what you want about the man's politics, you gotta admire his huevos.

  • Jeff "


    As Che Guevara's life couldn't be told in one film, the filmmakers decided to cut his story into two parts. A necessity as theres a lot of ground to cover. In the Second part, The filmmakers focus on Che"s Bolivian campaign and his eventual demise. Ernesto… More

    Doesn't really hold up to PART ONE, but still a very good piece of work and a mandatory companion to the first (greater) half of CHE.
