Daniel Day-Lewis is superb but many of the characters and incidents are not identified or explained, and would have little meaning for those who are not well-versed in the period. The film could also benefit from some judicious cutting.
Cons too complex, slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The slow pacing draws you into the life of the monastery until you're completely absorbed in the monks' world -- and their dilemma. A haunting film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
