Teddy B @RT90521672 Oct 22, 2026 Way too much uniteresting backstory for such a concise original narrative. Sure, the source material isn't amazing, but even its overly verbose approach shows more restraint than this dull, overwrought mess. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 10, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Alec B @Alec97 Jun 4, 2025 One can fondly remember a time when Hollywood would sink real money into an adaptation like this (the sets, costumes, and cinematography are legitimately great) while still recognizing that the movie features a parade of bad decisions. There's the fact that the movie doesn't reach the beginning of the novel until about an hour and 20 minutes in, the big sex scene is unintentionally hilarious, and the "action packed" finale is baffling. Also the movie takes every opportunity it can to smugly denounce the past. Yes, congratulations 90s filmmakers you were more "enlightened" than 17th century Puritans.

I love Gary Oldman and Demi’s chemistry! Great movie 👍 See more Shioka O @RT54204327 Dec 6, 2022 I don't know the original story, and I was mostly confused thinking what is the focus of this. There is moral issue because of the period. All in all, this is about sin, and this is a sin. and maybe I have hugely biased by the poor review. There are some famously low rated films and this is one of them, like; Heaven's Gate, Ishtar, Revolution. Demi Moore (is her voice ok?) and Gary Oldman are apparently in their prime time. This also has Robert Duvall. and some scene were just sad to watch. See more nilufer e @Nilicim Dec 22, 2020 It's a classic book that I haven't read but I did enjoy the movie. I had really low expectations because of the critics but it wasn't all bad. It's a solid story and a good effort. See more Read all reviews
