Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A sumptuously-appointed account of the life of the 16th-century Spanish royal Joan of Castile.

rotten:
Nothing more or less than an outright bodice-ripper -- it should have ditched the artsy pretensions and revelled in the entertaining shallows.
– Rick Groen,

rotten:
There's a little violence and lots of sex in a bid to hold our attention, but it grows monotonous after a while, as do Joan and Philip's repetitive arguments, schemes and treachery.

rotten:
Forget the Psychology 101 study of romantic obsession and just watch the procession of costumes in castles and this won't seem like such a bore.

fresh:
It's Lopez de Ayala's show, and she's relentless in her energy and passion.
