Frances H Saw this movie quite a while ago and was impressed with how good it was. I was really surprised that it hadn't received more critical attention. The cast was excellent and the drama engrossing with very medieval attitudes about how scholars and women were treated in the Middle Ages being very accurately portrayed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/13 Full Review Audience Member Um bom filme, com uma simples e ótima direção de arte e com uma trama que, embora seja episódica, nos interessa pelo teor e fidelidade histórica (apesar que poderia, e deveria, focar-se muito mais na Filosofia Medieval... que eu tanto odeio). Pena que o diretor Clive Donner, ao perceber que pouco criou durante os dois primeiros atos, passa a investir em mise en scènes desnecessárias ao longo do ato final. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mais interessante como registro histórico mesmo... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A definite "must see" if you have even an ounce of romantic in you!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Heloise amou e foi fiel ate o fim!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Remembered the movie yesterday, I watched it twice long time ago! Brilliant story, brilliant actors. I am trying ot find it on dvd, but, unfortunately, looks like it's not available. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
