However, they took too many artistic liberties, IMHO. Notwithstanding, I think they portrayed three characters exceedingly well: Bishop Waleran, Prior Phillip, and Tom Builder.
The period detail, the architectural references and both the political and church intrigue really are fascinating. It’d make a great movie if it were left intact as much as possible and properly cast, but that’s the big problem anymore with movies.
