A feature documentary about two out of work actors attempting the impossible task of mounting a full production of Hamlet inside the ultra violent world of Grand Theft Auto Shot entirely in game

Nick Howells

London Evening Standard

However, what makes this wickedly entertaining is how ridiculously amusing it is, and how such an incredibly stupid proposition ended up being so watchable.

Rated: 4/5

We haven’t even scratched the surface of “Pandemic Stories” that will unfold on screen over the next generation, but you won’t see another one quite like this.

This whole project results in absolute hilarity but the film is also exceptionally moving.

Next Best Picture

“Grand Theft Hamlet” is a marvelous journey into the hearts and minds of people seeking connection through a general sense of belonging during a time when humanity needed it most.

Rated: 7/10

Given that the actors-cum-gamers are operating in a virtual space with players from around the world, the film boasts several unexpected twists and a healthy dose of hilarity. However, the premise is ultimately more interesting than the actual execution.

Humans are a decidedly unserious lot, all things considered, and our need for play — for expressing joy — bonds us all.
