Entertainment Reviews:
It’s a stirring story of a real-life fight for social justice, and clearly a passion project for the Mexican actor-turned-director.
Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- While Pena does share plenty of physical characteristics with the late Chavez, it is the way he interprets the countenance of the soft-spoken, frankly uncharismatic leader that resonates so beautifully.

Basically, if you need a history lesson, 'Cesar Chavez' is not a bad way to go. We need histories of heroes. However, you can find more history on Wikipedia.

Loses an opportunity to dig deeper inside the man and, instead, follows biopic convention.

Cesar Chavez makes for a fine history lesson, but as drama, it leaves something to be desired.

Cesar Chavez is perhaps an abridged history lesson, but given the amount of material it needed to convey, it does a commendable and stirring job.

Michael Peña brings a centered, beckoning beauty to the title character that manages to speak to Chávez nonviolent approach without becoming hagiographic.

Product Description:
The life and career of legendary civil and labor rights leader Cesar Chavez is dramatized, following Chavez's mission to officialize the rights of immigrants and farm workers, as well as his personal journey as a husband and father. Outspoken but gentle, willful but soft spoken, the organizer's unique presence and unwavering commitment to non-violent protest would make him an enduring symbol of freedom and equality for generations to come. .
