Ridley does a fine job on all fronts, so that the second half of the film rises above its theatrical tethers. George MacKay does his share of the heavy lifting. Jul 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

From the opening shot of Ophelia adrift in a river, in mimicry of Millais's famous painting, the film seems to splash around in search of a suitable style. Jul 1, 2019 | Full Review…
