Visually it's extraordinary. There are some narrative devices which are ambitious and probably only make sense if you're familiar with the history. I couldn't see any major inaccuracies. It makes more sense when you realise this screenplay was adapted from a graphic novel by director Marjane Satrapi who is famous for Persepolis

This is a French inspired film but the money is British and American. Hence few actual French stars and it was filmed in Hungary. Wikipeida says the film was 'acquired' by Amazon Studios part way through production.
 
The performances are thoughtful and credible.. no "Hollywood" shit here.

Internet critics gave it a mauling but I can't see why.

ABM Rating 2.9/3
