See more 12/05/2020 Genteel and epic in scope, barely holds on to interest despite beautiful cinematography See more 06/22/2017 Beautiful to watch with incredible attention to detail, Raoul Ruiz' masterfully crafted Mysteries of Lisbon is a triumph of modern cinema that justifies its intimidating run time with an ambitious narrative structure and thought-provoking meditations on storytelling and the trustworthiness of human recollection.

Much of the acting is quite good if a bit stiff and some of the dialog is baroque and unrealistic. It has almost soap opera like twists and complications but the story is slow -- very slow, sometimes boringly slow. A film to be enjoyed for its cinematography and period flourishes perhaps but not a film many will find worth sitting through. See more Read all reviews
