Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

beorhhouse Maybe the most endearing thing about this whole film is the disturbed and comical dialogue between the little girl and the hurt stunt-man. But that's not where the film ends, by a long shot. Costuming, locations, superb acting, pathos, and a historical setting all combine seamlessly to give us a classic feel reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz or The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen or, better yet, The Princess Bride. And the scene with the Eucharist is worth time spent with the whole film! There is some violence, but it is muted and made fantastic.

splpl Lovely sumptuous film. Colour, Imagination and a captivating performance by Catina Untaru.

saj-43221 Having grown up in a video shop and having seen the best and worst in movies and now also being in my 40s,, rarely something turns up that makes me go wow. This is one of those wow moments.Stunning, i mean stunning visuals, great acting and a fantastic storyline. Put the kids to bed, feet up and immerse yourself in this movie. Brilliant.

SavvyDalmia This film is art. It's an ode to storytelling and to film making, doing justice to both forms by intertwining them seamlessly. The acting is outstanding, as is the plot.
