Title: Offensively inaccurate
Product review: In the words of Gentileschi biographer Mary Garrard and cultural commentator Gloria Steinem, "In the fully documented trial of 1612, Agostino Tassi was charged with and convicted of the rape of Artemisia Gentileschi. He never confessed to the crime, and on the contrary, tried to accuse Artemisia's father of having deflowered her, and to insist she had also written love letters to other men -- though she could barely write at the time. Artemisia testified repeatedly under oath and torture that she had been [raped] by Tassi. She described the event in explicit and graphic detail, and her own resistance to the point of wounding him with a knife."I give the film two stars for being beautifully made, but the falsehood of the movie undermines the few good elements.
