• The Mists of Avalon review.
  This film struggles to be as close to the book of Marion Zimmer-bradley, but it is not. It gives an idea though, and urges the viewr to be a reader of the wonderful inspiring book of the late Marion. The music is excellent, though and Angelica Huston a brilliant actress as always. And Margulies is the perfect Morgaine. I would love to see in the future, though another film or mini series, "faithful" to the book.

• Beautiful.
  I read this book many years ago and only recently saw the film for the first time. It is amazing. Yes it is not the same as the book, but what do you expect?

• Magical
  Based on Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel The Mists of Avalon, the best book of the Avalon series, this lenghty film brings you back to a world of magic, intrigue and battle. No unusual special effects or complex action scenes but a pretty straightforward approach. The characters are well portrayed by the cast and the story evolves at a good pace, with an interesting plot, but without any incomprehensible turns and twists. A very straightforward film, beautifully done.
