fresh:
It should have been made 40 years ago, but this biopic about the Mexican-American leader who spearheaded the fight for farmworkers' rights couldn't be more timely.

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

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

Biopics about civil rights icons are usually staid affairs. Cesar Chavez, directed by Diego Luna, is no exception.

With Pena, the question is this: Are the movies brave enough to give him the chance he deserves? He's a wonderful Cesar Chavez.
