Romantic, sweeping tale of sex and sibling rivalry that manages to connect despite its overwrought storytelling.
Stops you in your tracks and transports you to a phantasmagorical world where music, mystery and magic hold sway.

A lush, engrossing drama.
Farinelli is great fun and sufficiently thoughtful and complex to give food for continuing thought.
Artistry abounds in every aspect of the film.
Top CriticThe 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.
Musically thrilling.
The first two-thirds seem jumbled and underdeveloped.
There's something too artificial and highfalutin about the movie.
Top CriticGlossy and histrionic, salacious and empty, Farinelli reduces a fascinating story to a series of hissy fits and leering glances.
Top CriticBecause 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.
