The sets are tight and stagey, every corner is decorated with baroque lushness, every shot framed by a velvet curtain or silvery branch. And the dialogue isn't caged in by any attempts at naturalism.

High-minded and lively, with heartbreakingly beautiful actors on show, and all shot in a kind of honeycomb-sunglow light.

Mostly it remains enjoyable for its color and visual flair.

Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet is a lovely, sensitive, friendly popularization of the play...

The success of the film depends upon Whiting and Miss Hussey... They are magnificent.

Jun 03, 2013It may well be the definitive film version of the play, on top of being perfectly edited to the bare essentials of the story its got great performances all around (in particular Hussey and Whiting).Alec B Super Reviewer

Jan 24, 2012Yes I think we all get the picture that the leads played their roles fantastically. The movie itself wasn't perfect because of the cheesiness of it. It's great if your into romance films but it's not for everyone. Olivia Hussey is definetely the best Juliet there's ever been. It's solid for a romance but as I said it wont hold universal appeal. The reason being for me because it didn't feel like it was on a large enough epic or tragic scale.Directors C Super Reviewer
