Rob Rector Film Threat With its minimalist style, Stephen Dest's documentary I Am Shakespeare: The Henry Green Story realizes that its true narrative thrust lies not in flashy graphics or recreations but within the power of the spoken word. Rated: 9/10 Nov 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very well done documentary and amazing delivery by Henry Green describing his life experience. It subtly ties his devastating experience being shot and wiling himself to recovery with the tragic world of the Shakespeare play that he's discovered earlier in his success as a young actor. I'm saddened that we can't see him acting that role, or others. His honesty, humility and talent make this a really gripping film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I was moved by this film. I especially enjoyed the format, to hear Henry's story in his own words. His story affected me deeply. Every time I hear about another bit of gang violence I can't help but think of Henry and the struggle he endured, trying to grow up in a difficult situation, in two worlds at once. Highly recommend this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
