A conditional victory. Full Review |

This may just be the most striking and unsettling translation of Shakespeare ever committed to film. Full Review |

 2.5/5 |
It's hard to see it matching the success of other recent adaptations of the Bard. Full Review |

A consistently absorbing entertainment that never becomes either campy or facetious, given its inescapable exaggerations. Full Review |

Adds a wicked grin to the proceedings. Full Review |

Taymor manages to play with images and music as effectively as Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet or McKellan's Richard III, yet weaves a tale so powerful and stark that it leave you breathless. Full Review |
