Reviews are anything but glowing. A sample:
Ayn Rand’s monumental 1,168-page, 1957 novel gets the low-budget, no-talent treatment and sits there flapping on screen like a bludgeoned seal. - Peter Travers (Rolling Stone).
This movie is crushingly ordinary in every way, which with Rand I wouldn’t have thought possible. - Michael Phillips (Chicago Tribune)
Part one of a trilogy that may never see completion, this hasty, low-budget adaptation would have Ayn Rand spinning in her grave. - Variety
