Agora (out now) is set in the early 5th century and centres on a female philosopher named Hypata (Rachel Weisz) who finds herself caught in a battle between the Jews and the Christians. I've no idea how much of this tale is true but held my attention for the most part. Some parts of the story are over-explained however. Grade: B.
