Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Glossy and histrionic, salacious and empty, Farinelli reduces a fascinating story to a series of hissy fits and leering glances.
– Edward Guthmann,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Because Carlo Broschi, the 18th-century castrato singer known as Farinelli, was himself such an exotic and sensationalistic figure, you'd think that creating a dull movie out of his flamboyant life would be next to impossible. Think again.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
A fascinating, if occasionally overly melodramatic, recreation of a period when Baroque music ruled Europe.
– James Berardinelli,

rotten:
There's something too artificial and highfalutin about the movie.

Artistry abounds in every aspect of the film.
