[A] classically conceived and executed biopic that traces how Marx, as a struggling family-man writer in the 1840s, came to create 'The Communist Manifesto.'
Variety
And by the time Marx writes what his wife calls a...critique of the critical critique - well, my eyes glazing over at the dialectics, I for one needed an antidote.

NPR
Frames history in terms of a spreading ideology. The resulting character study is leaden yet sobering.

San Diego CityBeat
THE YOUNG KARL MARX stands out as intelligent, stirring, literate and tri-lingual -- the characters speak English, French and German fluently.
Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- [I]t does present ideas with a solidity that’s admirable. Peck’s co-screenwriters Pascal Bonitzer, a longtime collaborator of the late Jacques Rivette, and the two clearly know their stuff.
RogerEbert.com
Scrupulously faithful to the biographical record, THE YOUNG KARL MARX, directed by Raoul Peck is both intellectually serious and engagingly free-spirited.
New York Times
[An] audacious, engrossing film....As energetically played by Diehl, Marx is a whip-smart firebrand whose passion and energy are palpable, an arrogant polemicist who doesn't care who knows it.
Los Angeles Times
