Motorcycle Diaries
- The Motorcycle Diaries review by Cherry
Not knowing a lot about Che guevara, it seemed odd to me to imagine him as a young man, but the film did really evoke the characters and a certain time and place in history. I just want them to make a sequel now of the next bit of his life!

excellent!
- The Motorcycle Diaries review by CP Customer
I loved this film, from the beggining to the end. It was a good story, full of love, action and adventure. But what I liked the most is that it helped me to understand about Che Guevara and what he did in his later live. I recommend this film. I absolutely love it.

A wonderful film
- The Motorcycle Diaries review by CP Customer
Before I saw this film I knew nothing about Che before he went to Cuba or the lives of the poor in Latin America- along with a great cast and amazing scenery this is a film you will want to see again and again

Inspiring
- The Motorcycle Diaries review by RM
Excellent film from all angles. The topic itself is interesting as little is publicly known about Ernesto Guevara's the early life. The portrait of the different people across South America is simply perfect. The acting is absolutely fantastic, with the main character being increasingly aware of the existing injustices beyond his middle-class comfortable position. The writing is very good and takes into account all the different dialects (Spanish/Castilian speakers will appreciate this more). Landscapes are incredible... but of course this is not so much the director's merit :)

Once upon a time in South America
- The Motorcycle Diaries review by HW
Possibly the third time I’ve seen this film, and I forget how much you learn about the geography, cultures and politics of 1950s South America as much as our young travelling heroes do on this incredible journey. The lustful adventurers have many comic experiences, as well as sobering ones when they are confronted with the harsh realities experienced by the have-nots and oppressed they encounter; including migrant workers, natives and lepers. The movie features visually stunning landscapes, as well as recreating an entire time period. Underpinning all this is the touching, volatile friendship of the two young travellers as they both find their places in the world. Even if you have no interest or knowledge of Che Guevara’s early life, this is a road trip movie to end all road trip movies. I still really want to read the journals the movie was based on.
