MAX (2002)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Limited Release: Dec 27, 2002; Rated: R; Length: 108 Minutes; Genre: Drama; With: John Cusack and Noah Taylor

Menno Meyjes' provocative historical fantasy has the cheek to suggest that Adolf Hitler became a dictator because he failed as a painter. Noah Taylor plays the Nazi leader-to-be as a socially inept young man frustrated by the expectations placed on him by Max Rothman (John Cusack), an encouraging (fictional) Jewish art dealer.
