Audience Member I'm torn by this film. I loved seeing and hearing top flight British actors doing Shakespeare. What I didn't love was the story itself. I didn't buy it. So I can't slam it for poor quality, because it wasn't poor. The acting, directing, cinematography, etc., were all top flight. Where I take issue with this property is in what it had to say. Since I don't buy it or agree with it, it is hard for me to recommend ti. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
