The camera continually zeroes on Sasha Grey's face: pretty, unknowable, sometimes out of focus.  TV DVD ReviewTraffikby Ian Chant[2.Oct.09] :.

Che is about the dissemination of Che Guevara the icon, as it is also the saga of Che refashioned. Guerrilla Pattonby Chris Barsanti[8.Jan.09] :. Soderbergh's supersized retelling of the Che Guevara legend is an uncomfortable mix of war procedural and unabashed hero worship; ingenious but flawed.

Indie fanatics will appreciate this behind-the-scenes look at the independent film business set against the backdrop of the Sundance Film Festival. K Streetby James Oliphant[13.Oct.03] :.
