Rating: B+ --
It should have been made 40 years ago, but this biopic about the Mexican-American leader who spearheaded the fight for farmworkers' rights couldn't be more timely.

Rating: C --
Loses an opportunity to dig deeper inside the man and, instead, follows biopic convention.

Cesar Chavez makes for a fine history lesson, but as drama, it leaves something to be desired.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
It's reverential rather than revealing, predictably admiring where it needs to be nuanced and challenging.

For better or worse, the film is a call to action, but I want to know more.

The Film Stage
3 stars out of 4 -- While Pena does share plenty of physical characteristics with the late Chavez, it is the way he interprets the countenance of the soft-spoken, frankly uncharismatic leader that resonates so beautifully.

Product Description:
The life and career of legendary civil and labor rights leader Cesar Chavez is dramatized, following Chavez's mission to officialize the rights of immigrants and farm workers, as well as his personal journey as a husband and father. Outspoken but gentle, willful but soft spoken, the organizer's unique presence and unwavering commitment to non-violent protest would make him an enduring symbol of freedom and equality for generations to come. .
