About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody historical whodunit with religious politics and mounting dread in a closed setting; Not for you if you dislike slow stretches, talky scenes, or prefer the 1986 The Name of the Rose.

Pros: tense medieval mystery; strong atmosphere; ambitious adaptation | Cons: uneven pacing; too much dialogue; changes from source
