Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle The performances are all solid, although the screenplay frequently bogs down with the complexity of palace intrigues and plots that could have been rendered more consumer-friendly. Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2006 Full Review Dallas Morning News Rated: C Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Boston Globe Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media Brave heroine risks it all in biblical epic. Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International Less a celebration than a lively college lecture, with CGI standing in for landscapes, panoramas and a cast of thousands. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com The film is an exercise in overblown and overplayed. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Julie D Beautifully written. I absolutely love this story and this telling of it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Arianna A Very inspiring and I love how they show Esther Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review natalie h The scripture would have been better but the writer's changed so much it was terrible. How ever the costume's looked great. Poor choice of the actor for the king. Having the magical crystal that she used was weird. Having Hamem not show any fear when finding out she was Jewish was a poor choice and to have him threaten her was even worse. It's like the writer's didn't read the book of Esther. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of my all time favorite movies. I will watch this on repeat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an epic love story! A must see!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely love it.
