Rating: 2/4 --
The let's-put-on-a-show energy can be intoxicating. But man, does it take a long time to achieve that high.

...A vivid and richly entertaining pageant... -- 4 out of 5 stars
Premiere
Robbins has made the classic mistake of thinking that art that's persecuted for its political ideals must be good art.

Robbins eschews leftist diatribes for a bold cartoon version of history. It's as crowded and energetic as a big parade.

Cradle Will Rock is a far from perfect film, but it's never less than fascinating.

There is a lot of material to cover here, and Robbins covers it in a way that will be fascinating to people who know the period -- to whom names like Welles, Rockefeller, Hearst and Rivera mean something.

Product Description:
While the rich are funding Mussolini's war efforts by purchasing ill-gotten masterpieces from fascist Margherita Sarfatti (Susan Sarandon), the poor, like Olive Stanton (Emily Watson), are singing on the street for a nickel. In an unlikely partnership, Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) commissions anti-capitalism artist Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to paint a mural. Meanwhile, Mark Blitzstein (Hank Azaria) is inspired to write a pro-union musical that is closed before it opens when Congress begins to investigate the Federal Theater Project. Based on actual events in the 1930s, writer-director Tim Robbins boldly tackles politics, the arts, and a cultural revolution.
