100Deep movie emotions for me usually come not when the characters are sad, but when they are good. You will see what I mean.
-
100An extraordinary and effective film.
-
100Emerges as an African version of "Schindler's List."
-
100Enraging and enthralling.

91Several times, Hotel Rwanda teeters on the edge of making a unique, visionary statement about our times, but can't quite do it. Too bad. If it could have pulled itself together in one brilliant scene, this may have been a great movie, instead of just a very good one.

90Cheadle impressively carries the entire picture, delivering the kind of note-perfect performance that's absolutely deserving of Oscar consideration.

-
88Not a striking film visually. It's deliberately plain looking, focused on the appalling events with an almost documentary immediacy.
-
88One of the year's best.
-
88A gut-punch of a drama.

88This role could represent a career performance for Cheadle, whose forceful and multi-dimensional portrayal keeps Hotel Rwanda at a consistently high level.

-
83Cheadle's performance elevates Hotel Rwanda, making it a film that does justice to the tragedy it commemorates.
