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

Though well-acted, Diego Luna's hagiographic film never manages to shine a meager beam.

Basically, if you need a history lesson, 'Cesar Chavez' is not a bad way to go. We need histories of heroes. However, you can find more history on Wikipedia.

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

It's reverential rather than revealing, predictably admiring where it needs to be nuanced and challenging.

Biopics about civil rights icons are usually staid affairs. Cesar Chavez, directed by Diego Luna, is no exception.

It’s a stirring story of a real-life fight for social justice, and clearly a passion project for the Mexican actor-turned-director.

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. .
