The Middle Ages --- truly horrific!
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Anyone who knows the story of Joan of Arc knows how this film will end, so don't expect a feel-good movie. Neil Patrick Harris is truly sleazy as King Charles; if God was testing Charles' faith, surely Charles failed the test. LeeLee Sobieski is the perfect Joan, brave and pious. You cheer for her even though you know she can't win. Not only were the Middle Ages brutal --- starving children, a blind man burned to death, people shot by multiple arrows at close range --- but the political and religious intrigue was even worse. Though Joan's faith never wavered, she was cruelly manipulated by the very people she tried to help. Well-made, well worth seeing, evokes the adventure and the heartbreak of a long-ago era.
