Goya's Ghosts: Review By Gooberheadgirl

[You commented on this movie]

Review:

A tale of the Spanish Inquisition, French Revolution and British Invasion as told through the eyes of Spanish painter Francisco José De La Goya y Lucientes. Bardem, Skarsgard and Portman turn in magnificent performances in this period piece. I will not speak for the accuracy or inaccuracy of the history as I'm ignorant of most of these events. The film is quite engaging and the story is interesting. The film seems a bit choppy in transitioning from one period to the next and this is probably due to time restraints. The 15 year transition seems too much but without it, the film would have been monstrous in length.
