5/10
Praising supporting actors

LA CELESTINA is a good, not great movie, from a great storyline. It involves a witch, a failing romance, a virtuous young woman & a horny knight. The knight has two servants that appear to have different opinions about the witch but turn out to be more alike than intended.

The acting is great except for Penelope (female lead) Cruz who both doesn't have enough of a role nor does she do enough. It comes with either English or Spanish language track & English subtitles. The musical soundtrack is classical & I enjoyed it a lot.

The witch & her influence on the town are as marvelously done as the music. Throughout the movie it is the servants & witch that power the story & not the lead actors. I can't rate it 3 stars but I can't rate it 4 either. The love story is kind of weakly done in my opinion.
