Igone the reviews that say there are historical inaccuracies. If it was accurate you'd need subtitles to tell what they were saying, and no one would have perfect hair and teeth.
The acting is superb and rally draws you in. Shardlakes presence and determination really shines through, counterpointed with Baraks rougish charm. The Abbot is a brooding menace with a heavy burden of the reformation baring down and the monks each have thier own agenda. Oh and by gosh it looks cold. The actors must have been numb for the entire shot.
Special mention goes to always underestimated Paul Kaye for an exceptional mad monk turn.
