...often starts over the top and soars from there, like a hang-glider leaping from a skyscraper roof, thinking there's nowhere to go but up - is muted, yielding few emotional revelations, seemingly sedated here. Except for one pungent confrontation at the UN between Guevara and ambassadors from other Latin American countries, Che is defined less by his rigorous fighting skills and seductive intellect than by his asthma...
...Ebert wrote this in 1969, in a review of the flop Hollywood bio-pic Che!, with the not-very-Latin Omar Sharif as Guevara. Yet most of Ebert's denunciations apply to Soderbergh's movie, which dispenses with the exclamation point - and with almost all of the compelling, sometimes contradictory drama in Che Guevara's life...
...depression now, and despite everything, I don't think we're heading into one (although I'm not as sure of that as I'd like to be)."

"Martial law was a hard blow for Solidarity, and it pushed the country back," he says...
...great role in a great screenplay, I'll never say no to. There are a lot of areas that I really want to approach. I would love to do more "real person" screenplays, somebody's life, like the average hero. I think there's a ton of historic Latin people whose stories need to be told. My dream is to do what I do on stage, on film. That's my huge quest in life. I want to take the comic, satirical, dark stories that I really am attracted to and put that on film...
