With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Sits nicely alongside Henry V or The Count of Monte Cristo.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- A big, patient story, at 2 hr 56 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It's long: 2 hr 56 min.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Jeanne has succeeded in lifting the siege of Orléans and Charles has been crowned King of France. However, she is injured in an attempt to take Paris, weakening her position at court. Captured by the enemy and put on trial, she finds both her life and the sanctity of her body at stake.
