Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Captures the essence of the period -- an intriguing, backward era in Spain -- but without the emotional impact that such a film requires.

rotten:
Think of it as an Amadeus that doesn't work.

fresh:
It's a richly seen and felt movie, but not one with a feel-good message.
– Richard Nilsen,

rotten:
A modern sensibility afflicts much of the screenplay, with characters expressing thoughts and opinions for our ears rather than acting as people of that era.

rotten:
A punishing misfire.
