Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Director Hugh Hudson maintains a steady hand throughout in this low-key but powerful rumination on faith and reason.
Antonio Banderas' admirable performance fails to energize Hugh Hudson's handsome but ponderous period drama.
A rote but engaging historical drama about the eternal debate between truth and mythology.
In Antonio Banderas, Mr. Hudson has a winning de Sautuola of personal modesty, scientific integrity and paternal warmth.
