Review of Agora (2009) by Dana Stevens for Slate — 03 Sep 2018
Like "Spartacus," this movie is engaging because it's actually about something: the love of learning, the clash between science and religious faith, and the grim fact that political change often proceeds on the foundation of mob violence and genocide.
Agora engages more effectively with this kind of big historical idea than it does with human drama.
