Hollywood can create intelligent movies...

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 1998)

A delight for anyone with half an interest in the title character's works, Shakespeare in Love proves the rumors false that Hollywood can only service the brain dead and the action hungry. Beautifully written, wickedly acted, deliciously devilish in its intent to play on every Shakespearean device ever created by the bard, this is a perfect pearl of a movie that leaves viewers breathless with pleasure. More movies of this ilk will only be made if Shakespeare in Love is successful in theaters, so get thee to a movie house!
