      Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine A spectacular but slow and ponderous sword-opera which dramatizes the life story of the eleventh-century Persian poet-mathematician. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews What I liked about it, is that it stunk but its smell wasn't that bad. Rated: C Mar 16, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
