      Audience Member The story didn't fit with the 1940's setting, having the whole movie contained within one house makes it very awkward whenever a character yells (why can't they hear each other?) Keeping the Shakespearean dialogue in the new setting just feels out of place and very confusing. Hamlet just seems like he's sad & drunk throughout the entirety of the movie, and no one seems to have any character depth. I think if the story was adapted to fit the setting rather than just plopped into it, it would be significantly better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Annlee Ellingson Los Angeles Times The result is a focused, if at times melodramatic, take on the play's beating heart. Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety A modestly inventive but curiously bloodless version of the Bard's timeless tragedy. Jan 10, 2014 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times While Mr. Ramsay accomplishes some kind of a trick in streamlining the play, his trimming of corners feels more like a taking away of the center.
