      Nathan Z Couldn't understand what they were saying. Disorganized plot, horrible lighting, actors spoke too slowly and paused too much in between sentences. Costumes were also wonkey. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/19/23 Full Review dustin d This is an engaging historical film that celebrates the power of independent, off-beat individuals in the context of the Spanish Inquisition in the New World.
