Is the whole thing kind of silly? Yes, but maybe not quite enough. Will it inspire the masses to take up the Manifesto anew? Now, that's funny.February 23, 2018
Watching it is like being tossed into an agitprop blender..It has little depth, either political or psychological.February 23, 2018
Raoul Peck is on a roll.March 02, 2018
With the sensibility of a very boring Downton Abbey and a political consciousness to match, The Young Marx is an insipid disaster.February 22, 2018
Against all expectations, "Young Karl Marx" makes this kind of brainy content bracing and dramatic.March 02, 2018
Peck ... does a marvelous, meticulous job recreating the period look and feel of various European cities of the mid-1800s.February 24, 2018
Ideologically dismissive and strictly from the school of scratching the surface cinema, not to mention the enigmatic participation of no less than 27 production companies likely rubber stamping their own two cents all over this politically evasive projectMarch 15, 2018

Although it bogs down in philosophy, the script balances its intellectual and emotional components reasonably well, thanks in part to [August] Diehl's charismatic performance.March 01, 2018
And by the time Marx writes what his wife calls a...critique of the critical critique - well, my eyes glazing over at the dialectics, I for one needed an antidote.February 22, 2018
Both intellectually serious and engagingly free-spirited.
