90Splendidly panoramic. The scenes of Columbus's arrival and of his imperialist and religious sloganeering, and of the carnage he wreaks, have a grandeur and a force reminiscent of Terrence Malick films. The segments about the chaotic water riots have a documentary immediacy.
-
80While the concept may sound schematic, it is brought to vivid life by wonderful characterizations.
-
80The film is at once clever, poignant and timely.
-
60More serious-minded than expected, with a unique and savvy point of view.
