    Critiques:

    "Goya's Ghosts is like the sketchbook Goya might have made with a camera." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    "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." Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

    "Ghosts is one of Forman's most ambitious and daring films; would that all of its ambitions were fulfilled." Glenn Kenny, Premiere

    "Ambitious script is stranded between entertainment and intellectualism, leaving us with a magnificent folly, thoroughly watchable for its visuals but ultimately hollow." Jonathan Holland, Variety

    "Far from an embarrassment and a generally fine piece of work." Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly

    VampAurora's Critique:

    A really dark movie which can take your breath at moments. Amazing acting by the whole cast and especially from Natalie Portman. Emotionally devastating, this movie will give you food for thought. It's worth it.

    Rating: 89/100
