Alexandria, 391 AD: Hypatia teaches astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy. Her student Orestes is in love with her, as is Davus, her personal slave. As the city's Christians, led by Ammonius and Cyril, gain political power, the institutions of learning may crumble along with the governance of slavery. Jump ahead 20 years: Orestes, the city's prefect, has an uneasy peace with the Christians, led by Cyril. A group from the newly empowered Christians has now taken to enforce their cultural hegemony zealously; first they see the Jews as their obstacle, then nonbelievers. Hypatia has no interest in faith; she's concerned about the movement of celestial bodies and "the brotherhood of all". Although her former slave doesn't see it that way.
Leave your thoughts about Agora.
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusHypatia has been misrepresented for centuries as a martyr of religion's war on reason … a version of events traced to the anti-Catholic 18th-century writer Edward Gibbon and popularized by Carl Sagan. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's not perfect, but it's not like any other movie in theaters now. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallDespite noble intentions and bloody nods to religious intolerance, this historic epic can feel like a drippy toga party |
| Boston PhoenixBrett MichelWe're but tiny specks in the cosmos, a point Alejandro Amenábar drives home via nigh-omnipresent powers-of-10 shots... |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterIf you want something to engage the mind as well as set the blood boiling then it is an unexpected pleasure. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's not perfect, but it's not like any other movie in theaters now. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayAgora, Alejandro Amenábar's absorbing historical drama, proves that, in an era of movies made for iPhones with artistic ambitions to match, there are still filmmakers willing to swing for the fences. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a movie about ideas, a drama based on the ancient war between science and superstition. At its center is a woman who in the fourth century A.D. was a scientist, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and teacher, respected in Egypt, although women were not expected to be any of those things. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawAlejandro Amenábar has made an ambitious, cerebral and complex movie set in fourth-century Alexandria, the era in which the famous library was destroyed. |
| Financial TimesAntonia QuirkeAn intoxicating film with a wonderful sincerity, Agora is a sword-and-sandals thriller that relishes the temples, scandals and religious upheaval of 4th-century Alexandria. |
