Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The solid final 20 minutes of the film demonstrate how strong a director Fiennes can be, but it's a slow, obviously deliberate build up that might test the patience of those who don't have a standing interest in the dancer or of this period in history.

I am found myself fairly taken in with this just as a [straightforward], good, sensible drama.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Rating: 3/5 --
The film gives the impression that much of Fiennes' attention went into working with Ivenko on shaping the details of this portrait -- and it is psychologically convincing, whether or not it has much to do with the real man.

The Age (Australia)
In the last half-hour, at just about the point that you're as sick of Nureyev as his KGB chaperones must have been, the movie takes off irresistibly as a thriller.

Rating: 7/10 --
The White Crow is a decent film giving light to an artist you might not know and humanizes him along the way.

Rating: C --
Fiennes' drab biopic of Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev drains the color from his life, and comes across as cold as a Soviet winter.

Detroit News
Rating: 3/5 --
The White Crow offers up all these elements of Nureyev - his past, his heat, his vulnerabilities - but all those parts are dancing around each other incongruously rather than as a well-choreographed ensemble piece.
