Pure genius

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 1999)

I saw this film for the third time last night, and was as pleased with it as I was the first time. "Shakespeare in Love" is delightful, wonderfully acted, witty, beautifully filmed. Paltrow and Fiennes shine, as do Dench, Affleck, and Rush. It is truly one of the most clever films I have ever seen. One of the best of 1998.
