Barbara B If you take in all the sensory material, the story,& the main characters’ performances…..its memorable and definitely a re-watchable. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Audience Member This is how you make a movie about a historical event. Knowing about the effort put in to make it accurate combined with the release date makes it even more impressive. Goddamn damn god Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Ying Fan L As a historian of the indigenous language and views, these stories are always based on the views of the Christian struggles to corrupt the audience into thinking these people are the saviors of the indigenous people. You are made to feel emotional, by use of the beautifully orchestrated music, again only in the views of Christian priests. Make sure that you notice the creation of the struggles are made, and created by both enemies of the indigenous destroyers who believe in the same things in the Christian Church. In this movie the only beauty it has is the scenery and the emotional music intended to manipulate you to celebrate the Catholic Church using the Indigenous as props and nothing based truly on the indigenous views of the forced struggles they put them through. As a fan of Jeremy iron, I love his voice and his acting. The others actors great too. I give this movie a low grade because of its intended purpose. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Jelisije J One of the most bleak realistic films about missionaries seeking to "save" the souls of indigenous people in south america while battling their own faiths when the church says they speak for God but betray themselves and their beliefs in the process of living in the world. A must must watch for any person of any faith that also left an impression on me that I will never forget. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie has a powerful story and beautiful cinematography, but it gets bogged down by its slow pacing and lack of dialogue. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Jarrod R This outstanding film was a feast for the senses. We are transported back to South America in the 1750s and experience both the promise of a community based on love and the basest tragedies of colonialism. Raw performances from some of the greatest actors and actors of a generation as well as supporting roles that match the intensity throughout. All of this paired with exquisite cinematography, which earned Chris Menges his second well deserved Academy Award at the 1987 Oscars. A film worthy of your time for the beauty and powerful messages.
