Oh dear. Oh no. Ophelia. A curious, if ambitious, central conceit is here battered into inconsequentiality by a scattershot screenplay that flees so far from the original Shakespeare that it leaves little purpose, or relevant material, in the retelling.
November 25, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
An interesting, well played and well made attempt to reframe Shakespeare's most famous play through a feminist lens, Ophelia ultimately doesn't have the boldness to deliver on its resonant idea.
November 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
A confused melodrama more fitting for a retelling of Twilight in the woods than of the greatest play ever written.
November 22, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
Richly coloured and interestingly flawed, director Claire McCarthy's melodrama is an increasingly bonkers watch, anchored by [Daisy] Ridley's magnetic turn as the passionately conflicted Ophelia.
November 20, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
A middling romantic drama about female empowerment with gorgeous visuals and a strong performance from Ridley, but is often lost among the reeds in terms of pacing and narrative cohesion.
August 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
This visually handsome film, though it will probably annoy Shakespeare purists, proves to be a diverting entertainment.

Audience Reviews for Ophelia

May 12, 2020A feminist reinterpretation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia is a compelling new vision of this classic tale. The film follows a young girl named Ophelia who becomes a lady-in-waiting to the Queen and is soon drawn into the court's politics and has a torrid love affair with the Queen's son. Starring Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts, and Clive Owen, the film has a pretty solid cast that gives good performances. And the writers do an impressive job at honoring the original material and themes while adding in a few twists. Also, the sets and costumes are especially well-done, and the score is remarkably evocative. While it takes a few liberties, Ophelia proves to be a fresh and provocative take on Shakespeare's work.Dann M Super Reviewer
