Absorbing

Great insight into a heroic era. A credit to the Australian creative team.

Fascinating historical drama

I knew nothing about the siege of Montsegur before seeing this film, and had only vaguely heard of the Cathars, so it was quite an eye-opener for me. With religious persecution, sword fights and handsome knights, this film has something for everyone. There is plenty of drama and action, but you could watch it with kids about 10 and upward.

Gripping Medieval Drama

Outstanding acting by Katie and Wesley plus Bella Rose and must not forget Rowena. I love the cheeky rabbit down by the creek. Dr Paul Day and Katrina Maffey you are legends and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Amateurish Production

As a fan of the Middle Ages, when I saw that a movie about the Cathars was getting good IMDB reviews, I had to rent it.

Big mistake.

The lighting, sound, music, acting, direction, set design, screenplay... were all substandard. Both my wife and I were exclaiming things like, "What the heck?" in puzzlement and dismay within minutes. An early fight scene was so poorly choreographed and staged that I laughed out loud. Sadly, that was the only pleasure I took from this amateurish film. After perhaps 10 minutes, we called it quits and found something better to watch.

I feel terrible writing this review because good people spent their time and effort making this movie. But I feel compelled to warn others like me: Save Your Money.
