      Brian Costello Common Sense Media Drama on spirituality has some bullying, violence. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Although the subject matter lends itself to confusion and the dialogue seems a bit flat, period costumes and interesting settings help us feel a sense of place, and that's important for a movie like this.

      Alex M O assunto é interessantíssimo, mas a abordagem é bem tosca. As interpretações são superficiais, os diálogos tentam soar como falas de época, mas não têm qualquer suporte na verdade dos personagens -- é como assistir a uma torrente de frases empoladas que tentam denotar cultura na linguagem e nos modos, mas são na verdade vazias e pretenciosas. As falas são ditas sem nenhum conteúdo emocional, na sua maioria, simplesmente empurradas para fora da boca. A fotografia/cinematografia é linda, assim como as roupas de época e as locações. Em resumo, tecnicamente o filme é excelente, mas achei realmente difícil seguir a estória, porque os personagens são unidimensionais e sem profundidade dramática -- complicado atores darem vida a caricaturas. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review T T Not good. Bad acting and bad dubbing. Boring. If you're interested in the character, check Wikipedia. It'll take you 10 minutes. That's what I did, after watching the movie. The movie itself is poorly made and not worth watching. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies about spiritual truths of all times Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, I really wanted to like this but it was almost impossible to get through. It lacked depth for me but adding insult to injury was the constant distraction of the mouths not matching with the words and the voice over being just terrible and sounding like its read off of cue cards. I don't really even feel like I got the story itself to any real degree. There was so much wrong about this movie but I don't want to beat a dead horse. Just bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a well made film, looking at the life of an important French educator, Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, who turned his attention to scientifically and methodically investigating the spiritual phenomena that was captivating France, Europe and America during the mid-1850s. A Brazilian made biographic, honest in its approach, the core of this film revolves around the work by Rivail in his investigations, who takes the pen name "Allan Kardec", and who is currently revered as an important figure by spiritualists (Spiritists) for his books about spirit communication and mediumship. Very well worth watching by anyone with an interest in spirituality, mediumship, spirits and French history. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, inspired me reflect on what are we doing in this planet, who I truly am, and where I am going after I die, in a very serious and transparent way. No magic, no charlatanism, rather showing the rather systematic and didactic way Allan Kardec codified the Spiritism books, thru his hard work and perseverance. The support from His wife was truly inspiring... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
