Alexandra Maria Lara

A somber accounting crafted with impressive verisimilitude and anchored by Bruno Ganz's rock-solid performance as the Führer...perhaps the definitive film on its subject.

Overlong and a bit overcooked...but it's also properly grueling.

By crafting a serious-minded character study, the filmmakers bring us closer to understanding the enigmatic artist's inspiration and desperation: a life that spun out of control.

Carion's film admirably resists overselling the material: it's an adult espionage film, with no comic-book theatrics.

Typically slick, both overstated and undernourished when it comes to the drama. All the same, Rush makes for a pretty good fall night at the movies: fast and furious, but not too stupid.
