Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

gaitsine-610-696847 Stretched in Time, boring, a bit pathetic; The good side is that it gives okay picture of religious conflicts in Roman Egypt.

Julesecosse Somewhat ponderous at times, then explosive episodes, in which there is a lot of action.I like ancient Roman fiction; and this is a deviation from the norm, which is unexpected. Rachel Weisz seems to have put heart and soul into this, as if she really believes in the film's message. At times, it wanders into doco territory with learning at the core; the fictionalised aspect seems unrealistic, but apparently is backed up by historical sources. I would recommend to historical fiction fans, but the layperson might not find much of interest here.

Kirpianuscus one of films who are the clear status of challenge. the costumes, the constructions, the landscapes, maybe the atmosphere are only details for a clash who remains profound strange. because its message is generous. and anti Christian. because it could be discovered as image of struggle of science against faith in each historical period and culture. but it becomes, scene by scene, so precise . and the result is simple - each Christian must blame the vision of director who offense his religion. short, a nice film. but fake. for its thesis. for its attack against Christianism. for the game with historical facts for a not noble purpose. the story of Hypatia is more profound than the story propose by the film. to transform in pink propaganda a complex story is not the most wise option. but each film has its target. Agora is not exception.

ashleybmeyer Great movie but it's not really *about* Hypatia. As in, the protagonist is not Hypatia. We switch between experiencing the three lead male characters' reactions to her and feelings about her. Rarely are the scenes and interactions about understanding Hypatia's mind or views or feelings; just understanding how her personality and actions effect the mind and feelings of the men around her. Her character is actually sort of just a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.It's a shame that the best movie about the first well-known female scientist can still fail the Bechdel Test. I'm not sure if there was even a single other female character in this film (other than extras). And while this movie is a remarkably accurate depiction of the historic events of Byzantine Alexandria, of the Christian population gaining influence and forcing women out of the aristocracy, this film's protagonists and target audience are men, and female viewers have little to relate to in the interactions of the characters.
