The sets and costumes are reason alone for watching this movie. It's amazingly produced. If you accept the story is a melodramatic exaggeration of the facts then it's exciting and entertaining. One flaw is the cast Nicky and Alix don't look much like the people they are playing. Just accept it as a fantasy version of history and you'll have a good time. The subtitles are hard to read.
