Cumbersome and often stilted, Goya's Ghosts remains a worthy drama

Think of it as an Amadeus that doesn't work.

Misery, misery, misery.

Goya, aqui, é o coadjuvante de luxo de uma história que não faz jus nem mesmo aos seus protagonistas.

A ridiculous biopic of the great Spanish artist.
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.

It's a richly seen and felt movie, but not one with a feel-good message.

Intense historical epic is for adults only.

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.

A punishing misfire.

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.
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.
