Review of The Mission (1986) by Sheila Benson for Los Angeles Times — 27 Jun 1988
The Mission is beautiful to look at, features impeccable period and setting detail, and offers a fascinating and tragic backstory, but it falls short in many simple human qualities. Overall, it's an impressive motion picture, but lacks the epic greatness sometimes associated with it.
