One of the best.

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 1998)

This is one of the most intelligent and witty films written in a long time, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Tom Stoppard. Full of jokes and sight gags it helps if you know your Shakespeare, but even if you don't it's still a riot.
The cast is uniformly excellent. Gwyneth Paltrow is radiant. Joseph Fiennes will be a bigger star than his brother. Geoffrey Rush can do comedy as well as he does drama.
This is a terrific film, sure to receive some Oscars.
