Mila Jovovich gives THE performance of her life in this movie. I watched this film with a very open mind, though easily brought to a place of eye-rolling when over-glorification or misuse of historical facts come into play. So I did not know what to expect with this version of the story of joan of arc. I was completely enthralled! And floored! From the first minute of this film, you are drawn in by a powerful story and beautiful cinematography. Every minute after the first is so compelling and believable.
