Goya's Ghosts (2006)

Somehow I've never been a big fan of Ms. Portman, and here she's barely passable playing two roles, the character Ines and Ines's daughter. The background of the story is interesting and one which I don't know well, about how the French came and stopped the inquisition and then the British came and reinstalled the Spanish monarchy. Actually, the movie could have been great, I think, but falls quite short of its promise. It's still watchable though.
