Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Some may consider "Agora" sound history, others may label it heresy, but I call it thumping good drama.

rotten:
Manages to mix philosophy, history, hysteria and a love triangle and still be something of a bore.

fresh:
Although the movie's history is spotty, its dialogue is sometimes clunky, and time frames are telescoped, its overall impact packs a powerful punch.

rotten:
This Spanish-produced period drama is pretty dreadful: the drama is torpid, the astronomy lessons pedantic, and the spear-and-sandal production values flat-out cheesy.

All brain, no heart.
