Grant Watson Fiction Machine This is an imperfect but very enjoyable adaptation. Rated: 7/10 Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault As usual, Griffin manages to make a movie that looks - and also sounds, thanks to Daniel Hildreth's lush score - as though it cost about a thousand times more than it did. As before, he brings the Bard to the screen with no fuss or pomp. Rated: A Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
