Our take

An urgent, riveting account of the 1994 genocide, Hotel Rwanda was a longtime passion project for its leading man. Sophie Okonedo lends stirring support to the film’s propulsive charge, but this is Don Cheadle’s show. As hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina, the actor gives the performance of his career.
