Cumbersome and often stilted, Goya's Ghosts remains a worthy dramaSeptember 07, 2007
Goya gets lost as the filmmakers turn Spanish history into a chronicle of easy contemporary targets. They don't just hit the social-political bull's-eye -- they obliterate it with a cannon and inadvertently scorch the dramatic landscape all around it.October 10, 2007
A storyline that turns so silly, you half-expect Mel Brooks to show up reprising his "Inquisition" musical number from History of the World Part I.January 19, 2014
A ridiculous biopic of the great Spanish artist.December 21, 2007
Goya, aqui, é o coadjuvante de luxo de uma história que não faz jus nem mesmo aos seus protagonistas.August 08, 2007
A modern sensibility afflicts much of the screenplay, with characters expressing thoughts and opinions for our ears rather than acting as people of that era.December 16, 2010
Intense historical epic is for adults only.August 24, 2007
Captures the essence of the period -- an intriguing, backward era in Spain -- but without the emotional impact that such a film requires.August 03, 2007
A punishing misfire.August 03, 2007
Misery, misery, misery.August 09, 2007
It's a richly seen and felt movie, but not one with a feel-good message.August 23, 2007
Think of it as an Amadeus that doesn't work.
