Difficult to rate, as the title does not describe the content. It’s barely about Jesus at all, just the last two or three lectures, and a couple of issues early on. What it is though is a good history of Judaism. Excellent lecturer.

What a frustrating movie. The first half is shot beautifully, but not much happens. Things happen in the last twenty minutes, but then it’s one of those endings that leaves one hanging.

can't think of anyone i would recommend this to, but it would appeal to those who like to watch 18th c nuns having lesbian sex. i don't have anything against that, but this storytelling was bordering on the absurd.

Very well done, hits all of the major points. The narrator could done down the hype a bit though.

i was unaware of the music connection - i was just expecting a visual of London. it's that and more and less - it seems to be overlaid with poetry or excerpts from letters which are never quoted. it focuses on the seedier side of London, with a nostalgic look at the places seminal to the mid & late 20th c music scene but are now in decay.i was unaware of the music connection - i was just expecting a visual of London. it's that and more and less - it seems to be overlaid with poetry or excerpts from letters which are never quoted. it focuses on the seedier side of London, with a…

really liked this film, the story, the characters and the settings. i wouldn't agree with the write-up that she's escaping an enigmatic affair, it's more like she realizes she's been dumped. her bunkmate is the last thing she wants at this time, but turns out to be the best thing for both of them. an adventure story .really liked this film, the story, the characters and the settings. i wouldn't agree with the write-up that she's escaping an enigmatic affair, it's more like she realizes she's been dumped. her bunkmate is the last thing she wants at this time,…

This is great for folks interested in a scholarly analysis of her work. I was more interested in women’s lives in early modern Europe; I did find some parts very interesting, such as incantations/spells used to find out who stole her valuables.

i liked the premise but abandoned it about 1/4 of the way in. I was annoyed by the depiction of the wife as a moronic doormat, and then i tired of the strippers, and i was also uncomfortable with juxtaposing the image of the girl over the footage of the stripper. so it might have redeemed itself, but judging by the comments below it looks like i made the right decision.i liked the premise but abandoned it about 1/4 of the way in.
