Raoul Peck is somewhat overwhelmed by the challenge of enlivening both history and the writerly process-of dramatizing footnotes, as it were.

Peck ... does a marvelous, meticulous job recreating the period look and feel of various European cities of the mid-1800s.

Against all expectations, "Young Karl Marx" makes this kind of brainy content bracing and dramatic.

Although it bogs down in philosophy, the script balances its intellectual and emotional components reasonably well, thanks in part to [August] Diehl's charismatic performance.

Is the whole thing kind of silly? Yes, but maybe not quite enough. Will it inspire the masses to take up the Manifesto anew? Now, that's funny.

Ideologically dismissive and strictly from the school of scratching the surface cinema, not to mention the enigmatic participation of no less than 27 production companies likely rubber stamping their own two cents all over this politically evasive project

And by the time Marx writes what his wife calls a...critique of the critical critique - well, my eyes glazing over at the dialectics, I for one needed an antidote.

A compelling story of how near we came to losing Marx' message then, and how near we are to losing it now.

Both intellectually serious and engagingly free-spirited.

Watching it is like being tossed into an agitprop blender..It has little depth, either political or psychological.

With the sensibility of a very boring Downton Abbey and a political consciousness to match, The Young Marx is an insipid disaster.

Raoul Peck is on a roll.
