- allmovie.com: «A
literal interpretation of the oft-produced biography of 15th century historical
heroine Joan d'Arc, this four-hour television miniseries version of Joan's story
is lavishly produced. In a tiny village during the Hundred Years' War, teenager
Joan d'Arc (Leelee Sobieski) has been raised by her parents, flinty Peter (Powers
Boothe) and Isabelle (Jacqueline Bisset), amidst the wreckage continually
wrought by British incursions into the area. A devout girl, Joan experiences
visions of St. Catherine, which lead her to believe that she may be the "Maid of
Orleans," a mythical figure who will lead France to victory over its enemies.
Counseled by local priest Father Monet (Robert Loggia), Joan pursues her destiny
in spite of her father's wishes. At first supported only by lowly commoners,
Joan comes to the attention of the Dauphin, King Charles (Neil Patrick Harris).
Together with his scheming advisor Bishop Cauchon (Emmy-winner Peter O'Toole),
Charles uses Joan to unite his quarreling factions. Skeptical but superstitious,
Charles' generals, including La Hire (Peter Strauss) are eventually won over by
Joan's startling victories. But awaiting Joan is a disastrous Parisian campaign
and Charles' betrayal» (Karl Williams).
