The documentary is slavish and pedantic. Review by Janet Maslin in the New York Times. Requires free registration.

Review by Mick LaSalle, in the San Francisco Chronicle. Ayn Rand was quite an interesting character, and the clips of her are worth seeing, although the tone of this film begins to grate.

Capsule review. Some juicy details, but most of the documentary is dry as dust. Rated 2.5/5.
