Indifferent to Shakespeare

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 1999)

This is a very well-made movie. Great acting, well-written, good set design and costumes, excellent music, an inventive and intriguing premise. In short, the works. So why did it leave me shrugging? I found it curiously unengaging, when I had been prepared to like it a lot, despite the excessive hype. Normally when this is the case I will see a movie again. In this instance, I have no interest in doing so. Very strange.
