Entertainment Reviews:
Robbins eschews leftist diatribes for a bold cartoon version of history. It's as crowded and energetic as a big parade.

Newsweek
...A timely rallying cry against censorship....Robbins is a world-class rabble-rouser whose playful style doesn't hide his serious intent...
Rolling Stone
Bertolt Brecht is probably doing somersaults of joy in his grave or wherever his remains happen to be.

Cradle Will Rock is a far from perfect film, but it's never less than fascinating.

Rating: C+ --
Art and politics collide in Tim Robbins' ambitious but not entirely successful effort to recreate a unique moment in American culture circa 1937.

Product Description:
While the rich are funding Mussolini's war efforts by purchasing ill-gotten masterpieces from fascist Margherita Sarfatti (Susan Sarandon), the poor, like Olive Stanton (Emily Watson), are singing on the street for a nickel. In an unlikely partnership, Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) commissions anti-capitalism artist Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to paint a mural. Meanwhile, Mark Blitzstein (Hank Azaria) is inspired to write a pro-union musical that is closed before it opens when Congress begins to investigate the Federal Theater Project. Based on actual events in the 1930s, writer-director Tim Robbins boldly tackles politics, the arts, and a cultural revolution.
