Movie Reviews

2UE That Movie Show - 10/10 by Blake HowardFriends, Romans, Countrymen; Caesar Must Die is flawless, and must be seen.
New York Post - 10/10 by Farran Smith NehmeSuch is literature’s power that the cast is more at ease portraying ancient Romans than speaking as versions of themselves.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin CovertA film somewhere between documentary and neo-realist drama.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussDestined to lose years in prison, the actors seem to take pride -- and solace -- in their association with something as seemingly immortal as Shakespeare's words.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongThere's an intensity and emotional accuracy to the performances that's just stunning, particularly Striano's Brutus, as he longs for death and release.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe ferocity of the performances is inextricable from the men’s real-life criminality. We are baffled, moved, and repulsed – often at the same time – by the elemental spectacle before us. In this metaprison drama, the prison bars are both illusory and unbreakable. Caesar Must Die chronicles an exalted entrapment.
CultureCatch - 9/10 by Brandon JudellHere's an extraordinary melding of the actualities of modern man with his ancient past. Sadly, humankind hasn't made much progress when it comes to controlling its ambitious and testosterone-tinged impulses. Happily, human frailties make great art.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Grant ButlerFor a movie with such a brisk pace -- it clocks in at just 76 minutes -- Caesar Must Die has surprising depth, particularly when it comes to the strong performances by the actors, many of them Mafiosi serving time for drug trafficking and murder.
NPR - 9/10 by Bob MondelloThe Taviani brothers, Paolo and Vittorio, have been blurring the line between reality and fiction in their films for six decades.
London Evening Standard - 8/10 by Derek MalcolmIt is difficult to understand exactly where documentary ends and fiction begins, but the finale, again in colour, of the triumphant first night of the production can't fail to move.
