For me, the real film that shows that you can make a good historical movie again. Tell us the story of Hypathia, the last great scientific of antiquity, a woman that defended that philosophy and knowledge were something important, model for feminists and scientifics. Takes us to Alexandria in the time of Romans, shows as the famous Lighthouse and the Library, and talks mainly about religious intolerance. A movie against fanatism, then and ever, in which we can find lots of things in common with our present time. Very intelligent movie, and a song directed to stars.

I am going to make a spoiler: don´t you think the film itself is a metaphor of India? Not only because, although nobody wanted to distribute it, they got 8 Oscars and worldwide acknowledgement. Just look at the central topic of the film: the main character -as India- has crossed through many difficulties that now are useful to him to answer the questions and triumph.
