Another astonishing movie of Ben Kingsley that I loved and I’d remember it forever.

Really enjoyed this money. Beautiful to look at and also extremely interesting

Started watching in school, and never finished it. It kind of became an in-class meme

It really catches the soul of the novel. Despite its massive length I didn’t get bored at any moment

The movie was good, not sure about the religion part. But the characters are amazing. Really engages you in the story.

I prefer the book, but the film was also very good

It is a very good movie with a lot of history and good actings. The pace is also very good and not boring at all

Amazing movie. Inspired me to read the book it was based on and...the book is way better and with less historical flaws.

Excelente visuals. It might not be as hysterically accurate as you would wish but the story is so touching that you don't mind.

A great movie,I loved the impression of mediaeval Persia and Europe.It portrayed the begging of medicine and oppression it faced amazingly.
