Audience Reviews

I've not heard of this epic tale before. The story feels kind of universal. So much power and the struggle to obtain more, at the cost of everyone else's rights to be free and live a productive and prosperous life.

I'd like to know more about Persian literature, specifically Ferdowsi's epic poem "The Book of Kings."

I feel the need to rewatch this entire film, possibly several times,to truly understand the level of inner strength and self-sacrifice needed to be free even in one's own mind.

Beautifully done, the animating style feels more classic than cgi. I enjoy the art of it.
