‘A grand Hollywood war movie. Del Toro gives a stunning performance as Che Guevara. ****’ Empire
‘Soderbergh’s best film. A masterpiece. ****’ Total Film
'”Che” is brilliant…incandescent – a piece of full-on, you-are-there realism…[A] perfect dream movie, which is also politically vibrant and searing.' Jeffrey Wells, Hollywood Elsewhere
'”Che” is a piece of entertainment that delivers excitement, pathos and pure film-making passion…The end result is masterful – expressive, innovative, striking, exciting.’ www.cinematical.com
Praise for ‘The Bolivian Diary’:
'Guevara was a figure of epic proportions. These diaries, stark and moving, will be his most enduring monument.’ Observer
'Vivid and compelling.' Economist
Praise for ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’:
‘It’s true; Marxists just wanna have fun.’ Guardian
‘What distinguishes these diaries is that they reveal a human side to El Che which historians have successfully managed to suppress…one senses El Che’s belief that determination and conviction can be enough to change one's self and others…a joy to read from start to finish.’ Financial Times
‘Political incorrectness galore…this book should do much to humanise the image of a man who found his apotheosis as a late Sixties cultural icon. It is also, incidentally, a remarkably good travel book about South America.’ Scotsman
