Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
Shot on location, the movie has a neo-realistic feel, but sometimes the framing of the shots gives it a beautiful cinematic vibe that is far from gritty, despite its subject matter.

Maybe you wouldn't expect a two hour Italian film about a strike in a Turin textile factory at the end of the 19th century to be especially entertaining. But wait until you see The Organizer.

New York Times
A nearly forgotten near-great movie, with one of Marcello Mastroianni's classic tragicomic performances.

New Yorker
Arguably one of the great Italian films of the 60s, it cries out for rediscovery.

Rating: 7/10 --
The style often features broad comic performances against a background of despair and defeatism; these were not comedies with happy endings which seems to be a contradiction.

Movie Metropolis
Marcello Mastroianni is superb in still another new kind of role. With delicacy and restraint he fills in the outlines of a rather complex man, who is personally gentle, humane and inept but ruthlessly efficient as a professional troublemaker.
