Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
The term "epic" often gets bandied around to describe movies that don't really fit the description. But Olivier Assayas' Carlos is the real deal...
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
It manages to deliver a steady stream of action thrills even as it reconsiders the international terrorism of the 1960s and '70s for lessons important today.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A terrifying portrait of an egomaniac who demands absolute obedience, and craves it even more when his power and relevance are drained away.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
It is one of the best pictures of the year.
