San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Sexy, peculiar and always entertaining.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kenneth TuranAdd Critic to Favorites

Succeeds as a full-bodied diversion because it takes even its silly elements seriously. If you're in the mood for impressive castles and sumptuous costumes, torch-lit processions and decorative nudity, this is the place to turn.Read the full review

Washington Post | Michael O'SullivanAdd Critic to Favorites
