Saura's storytelling style draws us deep into Goya's world, a disturbing but bittersweet place that can look hauntingly modern.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
The meandering story doesn't gather much momentum and Vittorio Storaro's camera work is less awesome than usual.

Rich as it looks, it lacks the feverishness of Goya's art.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Superb, contemplative.

San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Stack
The movie never catches fire with the emotions.

Worth a look, even if it doesn't quite find the internal logic it seems to be searching for.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Never comes alive.

Pretty but tedious Euro-pap at its most self-indulgent.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
It assumes considerable knowledge of his life and times. But, with even a little of the familiarity it demands, the movie is something special.
