Summary: Leelee Sobieski - the French connection
Review: In terms of historical value, not extremely accurate - but who cares? When you get a TV movie that is this spectacular, visually lush, brilliantly acted and emotionally gripping, historical accuracy is the last thing you'll complain about.Rarely does a TV movie come along that is as well conceived as its mega budget says it should be. Absolutely stunning battle scenes (especially for a TV production), rich location shooting and a superb cast make Joan of Arc unquestionably one of the best TV movies ever made. But what crowns Joan of Arc as a "5 star" production is it's outstanding lead, Leelee Sobieski. Perfectly cast, Sobieski brings qualities to the French saint never seen before - an innocent, yet strong and commanding personality, a "virginial" presence, a face resembling something of a saint/angel/renaissance painting plus not to mention that she was "actually" the right age to play the legendary teenage warrior. Sobieski's performance is so exceptional, she holds the entire 4 hours together, and at the same time, leaves other Joan of Arc interpretations by the likes of Ingrid Bergman and Milla Jovavich in her wake. Definitely the best TV movie I've ever, and a far better bet than Luc Besson's/Milla Jovavich's version...

Summary: JUST AMAZING!
Review: Nowadays with all the technology available in the movie industry, the director tend to relly on the effects and forget the the plot, the story. Fortunately this does not happen with this film. Leelee Sobieski gives a great performance as The Maid of Loriane. You can feel the inocence, with Leelee, her desperation when she is sentenced to be burned at the stake and during the movie you'll always feel sorry for her. Watch this girl very closely, im betting we'll continue to see very good things from her. Neil Patrick Harris, does a great job as Charles, a calculist king who plays with people like their pawns in a game of chess. And finally, Peter O'Toole is just suberb as the bishop that always knew that Joan was inocent and had in fact seen the visions and still allows for her to be executed. The effects were good although the scenes involving crowds could have been better. If you like films like Braveheart or Rob Roy, then just like Austin Powers says: "this thing is your bag, baby".

Summary: TV's Joan of Arc -- The Maid of More Lame
Review: About what you'd expect from a tv docudrama -- cartoonish characters with absolutely no depth or development. Plays very fast and loose with the facts and all the actors chew the scenery. The character of Joan is totally out of place, like she was picked up off some college campus and dropped 600 years in the past, or like Buffy Saves France. A real waste of time.

Summary: Very Inspiring! Not to be missed
Review: The portrayal of Joan of Arc in this movie was very touching. She was definitely NOT a Victim, as she chose to walk into the fire. Very brave, even when she knew that she would be betrayed, she encouraged others to BELIEF in her cause - to unite all of France. Highly recommended! Not to be missed, even if you are not a Christian. This is now my favourite DVD movie, as the sound and images were very clear.

Summary: Trial dialogue historically accurate.
Review: Better than the film version because it focuses on the betrayal, and the deception Joan encounters with King Charles, and with the church hierarchy who tries her for heresy. None of her deeds in battle compare to her heroism displayed while on trial! She is a beloved heroine of mine who I hope will inspire faith in the children of today.

Summary: The best movie on Joan of Arc!
Review: Since I saw this movie for the first time on t.v., I knew I had to buy it...it was sooo realistic and captivating! Leelee Sobieski plays the character of Joan extremely well and it couldn't fit anyone but her. A wonderful role model for all teenage girls and the perfect patron saint. She's both to me.

Summary: It's a task to ispire me, or to bring a tear to my eye...
Review: This movie truly inspired me. I had never given Joan of Arc a second thought until this production. Since then I have checked out all the books at our local library refering to Joan and I have made only one request for Christmas; get me Joan of Arc. This film portrays a martyr and a tool in the hands of God, unlike "The Messenger" which I had anxiously awaited seeing but left feeling cheated and lied to as Joan was depicted in that film as a schizophrenic mess. As I have researched many references and biographies recounting the retrial after her martyrdom and this film seems to be about as accurate historically as you could expect in a film about a person 500 years dead. In contrast the film "The Messenger" takes many surreal liberties with her legend and even as a non-Catholic I was deeply offended by the Hollywood production. The acting is very good, the scenery, costumes and general feel of the movie is true to the age and the story is accurate. Each cast member fit their role perfectly, in particular Peter O'Toole as Cauchon and of course Sobieski as the Maid. This movie made me love and appreciate Joan of Arc. Buy it and be inspired.
