Reviews


90
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
Cheadle impressively carries the entire picture, delivering the kind of note-perfect performance that's absolutely deserving of Oscar consideration.
90
The New Yorker - David Denby
The film turns into a triumph for Don Cheadle, who never steps outside the character for emotional grandstanding or easy moralism.
90
Time - Richard Schickel
It is a powerful portrait of a slightly befuddled man who, when inhuman demands were placed on him, found within himself an unexpected response.
80
L.A. Weekly - Ernest Hardy
Hotel Rwanda, based on real lives and events, aims unequivocally to break your heart.
80
Newsweek - David Ansen
Ultimately, one's reservations are overwhelmed by the story's urgency; it's impossible not to be shattered.
