Ari V I have a strong hunch that this has little to do with actual events, but as a work of art using history as canvas, I found it well-executed and moving. Good to see Golino in something genuinely memorable. She's clearly extremely talented and beautiful, but I haven't really seen that put to good use until this. Dalton also holding his own admirably. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Audience Member best movie i ever seen in this category Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the hottest movies ever. Timothy Dalton is at his best, and the story is torrid and breath-taking. :up: :up: :up: Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
