Edison - Ein Leben voller Licht

Gomez-Rejon’s film moves in spry, elegant fashion with some striking imagery and showy camera movements...

...a remarkable period piece, one that evokes the transition from the era of soot and gaslights to the luminescent era.

...it is high-minded and poised and interestingly it does not offer the obvious notion that Edison and Westinghouse were as different as chalk and cheese.

A stylish portrayal of a literal power struggle based on truly interesting historical figures and events.

...an informative look at how convenient, easy access to power and light became something many people take for granted.
