CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
[Stone] gives us provocative notes and sketches but not a final draft. The film doesn't feel at ease with itself. It says too much, and yet leaves too much unsaid.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
By de-mythologizing Alexander, Stone has turned him into an unbelievable individual. We accept great deeds from great people, not from sniveling whiners.Read Full Review »
