Excellent movie!

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 1999)

I've just come from seeing Shakespeare in Love and I am indeed that, in love. It was a fabulous movie with a superb cast. Paltrow played Viola with a passion that I don't recall having seen from her until now. Ben Affleck has redeemed himself from his turn in the blockbuster (or is that lackluster?) Armageddon. Fiennes, with those magnificent eyes, is every woman's dream. Dame Dench was a scene stealer as always and it was great to see Colin Firth again. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Shakespeare fan or not, it is a must see.
