Synopsis

A handwritten manuscript of Dante Alighieri's poem "The Divine Comedy" makes its way from a priest to a mob boss in New York City, where it is taken by Nick Tosches after he's asked to verify its authenticity.
Moviegoers are saying
Julian Schnabel's ambitious Dante adaptation has divided audiences with its 150-minute runtime and bold artistic vision, earning praise for Gerard Butler's standout performance and striking cinematography while drawing heavy criticism for Gal Gadot's acting and the film's perceived pretentiousness. The film features memorable moments like Jason Momoa's bizarre Italian accent and Martin Scorsese's surprising Santa Claus appearance, but most viewers found it an overindulgent, bloated experience that prioritizes artistic ambition over coherent storytelling.
