Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It is overlong, overproduced, overscaled and crammed with too many plots, subplots and digressions.

rotten:
Without knowing what has been lost in the process, it would be hard to imagine the original film was any less repetitive or more dramatically engaging than what remains.

rotten:
Compelling enough that one wishes to be able to see the entire eight hours, with all the missing context filled back in. As it is, this short version seems even longer than eight hours.

fresh:
Visually ravishing and full of double-crosses and nefarious plots worthy of Shakespeare.
