A ridiculous biopic of the great Spanish artist.

Cumbersome and often stilted, Goya's Ghosts remains a worthy drama

It's a richly seen and felt movie, but not one with a feel-good message.

A storyline that turns so silly, you half-expect Mel Brooks to show up reprising his "Inquisition" musical number from History of the World Part I.

A punishing misfire.

Think of it as an Amadeus that doesn't work.

Misery, misery, misery.

A modern sensibility afflicts much of the screenplay, with characters expressing thoughts and opinions for our ears rather than acting as people of that era.

Intense historical epic is for adults only.

Goya gets lost as the filmmakers turn Spanish history into a chronicle of easy contemporary targets. They don't just hit the social-political bull's-eye -- they obliterate it with a cannon and inadvertently scorch the dramatic landscape all around it.

Captures the essence of the period -- an intriguing, backward era in Spain -- but without the emotional impact that such a film requires.

Goya, aqui, é o coadjuvante de luxo de uma história que não faz jus nem mesmo aos seus protagonistas.
