CRITICS OF "Genius"

El Pais (Spain)

A film about literature that is neither literary nor cinematic and it gives the impression that wants to get away from the solemn to reach the popular, but ends up being superficial. [Full review in Spanish]

December 19, 2016

Resource

Detroit News

"Genius" deals with the creative ego, its trappings and the need everyone has for an editor.

June 17, 2016

Resource

San Diego Gay & Lesbian News

If you're looking for a spectacular visual experience, this isn't it. But if you're interested in writers and editors, this film is for you.

March 15, 2017

Resource

Boston Globe

An intriguing study of the personalities and torturous process behind some of the early 20th century's great writing.

June 16, 2016

The National (UAE)

Any film that takes literature this seriously deserves some credit.

December 20, 2016

Resource

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Unimaginative literary biopic.

January 27, 2017

Resource

El Mundo (Spain)

The problem of the film is that the promised magnetism of the story it's hardly found in the screen. [Full review in Spanish]

December 08, 2016

Resource

El antepenúltimo mohicano

A valuable film because of its story and its attractive cultural background, than by its (irregular) artistic results, which owes its most exciting moments to Colin Firth. [Full review in Spanish]

December 13, 2016

Resource

Toronto Star

Firth and Law falter with their characters' awkward bromance: the former a fatherly cipher (will he ever take off that fedora?); the latter a clatter of drunken scribe clichés.

June 16, 2016

Resource

Globe and Mail

Not nearly as smart as it should be.

June 17, 2016

Resource

Philadelphia Inquirer

Well-written, gorgeously shot, and expertly edited, the film is also an exasperating exercise in good intentions gone wrong.

June 17, 2016

Chicago Sun-Times

Perhaps the best advertisement for Genius -- not only did it make me want to revisit Berg's book, it had me lining up the Wolfe, Fitzgerald and Hemingway on the e-book runway.
