Film Reviews by Doric

As others have said, it's a complete self-indulgence by the Director. Beautiful to look at but totally cookie to follow. Not sure I could recommend it anyone except aficionados of the director.

To give some balance to the reviews posted here, my wife and I found the performance by Brian Cox to be compelling, and the cinematography to be beautiful and authentic. If you put the historical accuracy to one side, the movie licks along with some tension and we did not resent the time spent watching it.
