Leave your thoughts about Farinelli.
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereFarinelli is great fun and sufficiently thoughtful and complex to give food for continuing thought. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonBecause Carlo Broschi, the 18th-century castrato singer known as Farinelli, was himself such an exotic and sensationalistic figure, you'd think that creating a dull movie out of his flamboyant life would be next to impossible. Think again. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis Oscar-nominated Belgian entry about catsration of boys who became phenomenal soprano opera singers is more bizarre than drmatically engaging, but the story is always fascinating and the movie nice to look at and listent to. |
| Mixed ReviewsGabriel ShanksRomantic, sweeping tale of sex and sibling rivalry that manages to connect despite its overwrought storytelling. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe good parts are brilliant, but poor ones will put you to sleep. The story is so unique and fascinating, and the technical aspects of the film so well done, that I could not think about missing seeing this show. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFarinelli, one of the 1995 Oscar nominees in the foreign film category, is onto an interesting story, all right, but it leaves us feeling, like some of Farinelli's lovers, that something is missing. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe first two-thirds seem jumbled and underdeveloped. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserThe kind of high-camp, low-cohesiveness movie that inspires snippy reviews, and sarcasm about the fact that it earned a best foreign film Oscar nomination. |
| User ReviewBerenice CGrna música, gran historia, y una muy interesante y peculiar manera de llevar el drama a lugares inhóspitos dónde lazos tan fuertes como la hermandad puedan provocar la redención de un hecho que para algunos pueda ser imperdonable |
| User ReviewPablo Ijust the music makes it worth of watching |
