Chevolution Reviews
DCist
Ian Buckwalter
A history of Guevara that not only succeeds in avoiding either blind lionization or reactionary condemnation, but that looks at him via the lens through which we most often see him: a single iconic photograph.
Sky Cinema
Rob Daniel
Balanced, thought-provoking, and unexpectedly compelling.
Total Film
Tom Dawson
This illuminating doc lucidly lays out the history, legacy and legal wrangles surrounding Alberto Korda's iconic portrait of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara.
Time Out
Dave Calhoun
Zippy enough, if a little meandering, and spends equal time on the man and the myth.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
Film-makers Trisha Ziff and Luis Lopez ask how and why the wisdom of the crowd decided that this image should not merely be a badge of youth radicalism, but an icon of purity.
IdentityTheory
Phil Hall
A genuinely interesting film about a photograph that still, after 50 years, continues to haunt and intrigue us.
Independent (UK)
Robert Hanks
This intelligent documentary wonders how it happened, and how a hardline Marxist keen on political violence became a marketing tool and patron saint of every vaguely anti-establishment movement on the planet.
Filmstar Magazine
Tom Hutchinson
Chevolution is punctuated by a few of the more irritating tics that seem to tempt documentarists, but largely remains an informative and balanced history, although it concludes badly.
Film4
Anton Bitel
Like the ubiquitous image that it celebrates, this documentary says many things about history, culture and ideology, without ever seeming anything less than clear and compelling.
Financial Times
Nigel Andrews
Revolution is always with us: this week's guerrilla documentary, watchable and well-researched, is Chevolution.
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
Even though it gets a little earnest, this well-assembled film is entertaining, lively and packed with scenes and details we've never heard before.
Empire Magazine
David Parkinson
Fascinating biography of an image, showing how an artist's work can take on a life of its own.
Little White Lies
Adam Lee Davies
A tight, energetic documentary.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
The pic comes off as too scattershot to do anything but skim the questions it raises about the nature of the image as spiritual beacon and corporate logo.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The Cannes Che, probably a film no one will see again, is a big, sprawling, ambitious mess. It's less a grand-opera mess than a beautifully constructed machine whose parts don't all quite work together.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
Everyone knows the image this film is about... A movie about a picture is slightly unusual, and regrettably nowhere near as memorable as the original image.
