Max Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
The best thing about Max is its originality.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Offers a persuasive look at a defeated but defiant nation in flux.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Taylor, hawk-faced and gaunt, pours everything into his portrayal of Hitler, never once seeking our sympathy for this angry, homeless loner.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The film is torn between playing [Taylor's] character for real and as a dangerous joke.
Detroit News
Tom Long
If it's not a completely successful film, it is at the very least an intriguing effort to humanize the demon.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
One of the most intriguing and odd 'what if' movies ever conceived.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
With lines that feel like long soliloquies -- even as they are being framed in conversation -- Max is static, stilted.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Peculiar and intriguing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An intelligent film with a sophisticated understanding of art and the significance it played in Hitler's psychology.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A flawed film but an admirable one that tries to immerse us in a world of artistic abandon and political madness and very nearly succeeds.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A mildly flawed but nonetheless compelling 'what if?' interpretation of the events that shaped a singularly hateful man.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Meyjes focuses too much on Max when he should be filling the screen with this tortured, dull artist and monster-in-the- making.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
A fascinating and engrossing film.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Fascinating story from screenwriter- turned-director Menno Meyjes.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Mad Max just sails off into nonsense.
Slate
David Edelstein
As a ravishingly photographed, high-minded meditation on the potential of art and therapy to exorcise the vilest sort of psychological poison, it is positively riotous -- an Everest of idiocy.
Observer
Rex Reed
A vivid, spicy footnote to history, and a movie that grips and holds you in rapt attention from start to finish.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The 'what-ifs' involved have offended some people, but I found the movie fascinating for its subtext about art and politics, then as now.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's a big idea, but the film itself is small and shriveled.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
It challenges, this nervy oddity, like modern art should.
