There is some great drama, especially in the later part, but this has far too much filler. Especially near the beginning, it is ponderous and boring, with too many long views of the cast of thousands, and long closeups of staring faces.
I fast forwarded over many sections which were nothing but people riding or walking or milling around, with no advancement of the story. The film would benefit with a good editing,
The acting was generally wooden and unconvincing and reminded me of a poor copy of a De Mille sword & sandal epic. Only Iphegenia herself, later in the film was a convincing, moving performance.
