At 140 minutes, The Lost City of Z justifies its running time. It's a banquet of a movie, a visual feast that also provides plenty of food for thought. If Gray's reach has exceeded his grasp here, it's a compliment to both his ambition and his talent. Read more

Charlie Hunnam remarkable in the role and brings levity to a character who has the whole story resting on his shoulders.

Has moments of greatness, mainly the scenes in the jungle and solid performances from everyone.

Alas it is quite average and not what Perry Fawcett’s biopic demanded.

Fails to be consistently thrilling, occasionally matching the staying power of its bittersweet ending...

Lacking momentum and aural-visual sheen, The Lost City of Z has the feel of an old classic, but fails to find its Z. Read more
