IslandGuru Who payed the critics

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Kirpianuscus It is easy to remark than the story of Joan of Arc has many adaptations. few - memorable. and this is the first good point of this serie - to look for have its voice. to say the story in a honest, simple and convincing manner. using the right tools. the cast, the fight scenes, the trial. great names, from Peter O Toole to Maximilian Schell. and a Joan who is so ...different.because it is fair to say than Lelee Sobieski does more than a decent job but a convincing one, giving force and right nuances to portrait of Joan. in same measure, Neal Patrick Harris is a nice surprise as Charles VII. so, an interesting film. for a reason out of definitions. because its basic, fundamental and useful virtue is the honesty to say a story , so familiar, in your style. and this adaptation does it.

mannuskyhigh its always difficult to make movies on history. Especially when you don't have the exact facts related to it. But if you make a movie with a right blend of all the ingredients of film making, it does the trick. 'Joan of Arc' is one such film that deserves a standing ovation. When you are watching it, the feeling is quite authentic and you really feel for the characters. I saw this when I was around 14 at a TV Channel, That time I hardly paid any attention but the movie did strike in my mind. And several years later, I got the movie on DVD through a friend and I watched it and this time I was blown away. I am always in love for historic characters especially the ones who achieve martyrdom at their early age. The Performances are extraordinary. LeeLee, the actress who plays the title role really looks the part and delivers a marvelous performance, sometimes you may find that she is lacking the expression field, but the feel of the film makes you forget everything. Every other actor has done his/her job brilliantly. The Music is Epic. It glorifies the movie even more.One thing that made me shocked that this movie wasn't a theatrical one but instead made for TV. I think this movie deserved to be on the theaters, as It deserved to be. After Watching this, I want to salute the spirit of 'Joan of Arc'.

sharonartiste43232 I watched Joan of Arc on VHS and I really enjoyed it. I saw it on TV when it came out in 1999. This was a very well made motion picture and it is much better made than the movie theater films. Leelee Sobieski is a very talented young actress and played the part of Joan of Arc very well. I don't know a lot about French history, but I learned a lot by watching this movie. It was nice to watch a film without any profanities and sex scenes. It was also nice that they portrayed Joan as a woman of strong faith in God. The scenery and costumes were done very nicely. All of the actors and actresses did a wonderful job. It would be nice if they made more movies like this, of this quality.

crazeymaisy I saw this movie in my history class, and it was great! It makes her an extreme role model that says that girls can do anything guys can, and sometimes in this case, much better. I still think it was sooooo unfair that this wonderful hero had to die in the end but it really makes you believe that she is the Maid of Larine! It really shows the pain that Joan had to go through, whether the information was real or not, this was still a wonderful historical movie. It is a great movie for kids to watch that are learning about her in class, and her story takes you to her time. The actress who played Joan was full of talent and you almost see her as Joan. If you are ready to witness the story of one of the best historical figures in history, this is the movie. I believe in the Maid.And she is Joan of Arc.
