- Critics' reviews
-
-
"If 1492 is dramatically inert, it is just the opposite visually"
-
"1492 is not a terrible film (...) Yet because it is without any guiding point of view, it is a lot less interesting than the elaborate physical production that has been given it"
-
"The film takes a bold, intelligent approach to the explorer's story, providing scenes and images that are not to be forgotten."
