• Reviews

  "There is so little emotionally or intellectually at stake in most popular entertainment that Goya's Ghosts, Milos Forman's challenging, compelling and wildly uneven film, shoots like a cannonball into the solar plexus. I can't remember when I've been so physically and mentally shattered."—The Philadelphia InquirerThe Philadelphia Inquirer: Goya's Ghosts Review

  "Milos Forman's "Goya's Ghosts" attempts to make hay of the historical coincidence of the Spanish Inquisition, the rise of Napoleon and the life of Goya, but fails to do them justice."—VarietyVariety: Goya's Ghosts Reviews
