In the Hand of Dante
The film
A Vatican priest discovers Dante's original Divine Comedy manuscript. When asked to authenticate it, writer Nick Tosches steals it, while a parallel story follows Dante's quest to create his masterpiece.
The real review
This is a divisive mess that most people walked away from frustrated. The split is between those who appreciate Julian Schnabel's bold visual style and the high-concept premise about Oscar Isaac stealing Dante's manuscript, and the much larger group who find the story a pretentious, incomprehensible slog. The pacing is universally slammed as glacial, and the dual-narrative structure loses almost everyone. A few bright spots pop up — Gerard Butler gets some praise for his role, and the visuals are striking — but they're not enough to salvage the experience for most.
