Anthony Lane The New Yorker 03/23/2015
What we get-a bitty and begrimed romance-has a lyrical sway of its own, and, even if some of the cast seem lost in the lines, Hawke returns to save the day, and the movie. Go to Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com 03/13/2015

A conceptually weak and dramatically muddled mess that has acquired a game and good cast and then given them precious little to do. Go to Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer 03/13/2015

If too many filmmakers try to amp up the excitement in Shakespeare with movie magic, Almereyda goes to the opposite extreme in Cymbeline. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/23/2023
Thus ad infinitum; these are the easter eggs you come for first and foremost, close reading as near-gimmickry. Go to Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 02/12/2021
This is a film without a wide range of emotions, they remain mostly on the somber side, but those explored are seriously explored. The overall mood is one of sympathy for the young, the marginalized, the rebellious. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 04/27/2018

It gives us Shakespeare, but with a murkiness and lack of poetics and too many story-lines converging all at once. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 30 Failure in 1 hour and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Some Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unsuccessful for Dakota Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life 07/01/2024 This would've been better if they'd just played it like any other drug movie. The dialogue was atrocious. Tim Treakle See more Georgan G @RT98616417 07/20/2023 Only Shakespeare could invent such a complex story. Almost no character is who they appear to be. Hard to watch because of Old English, but quite a movie. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 08/21/2022 What in thee holy blue hell? Shakespeare... to the tune of biker gangs. Maybe it's more palpable if the dialogue is updated but without doing so it's just a weird watch, through and through. Also, I think it's a totally ridiculous story that lacks the detail and depth necessary to make it seem not aloof in the current day and age. That said, I think it's a story that could work if better updated, because it has some nice twists. See more jelisije j @jjosifovic 05/23/2022 Another Modern Day Shakespearean movie that surprise surprise doesn't work. See more ripper j @RJ2099 02/14/2022 Great cast but I just couldn't get into it.
