Fantastic Writing

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 1998)

You'd think that a movie about a writer would itself be well-written. In this case, Norman and Stoppard rise admirably to the task. Shakespearean dialogue is cleverly interwoven into the script such that it is recognizable, yet never clumsy or awkward.
This is the first time in a very long while that I have been pleasantly surprised by a movie that actually uses the English language well.
