A Beautiful Fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2001)

"Shakespeare in Love" is a beautiful, lyrical masterpiece. Shakespeare's beautiful words, supported by Stephen Warbeck's music the beauty if its star, Gwyneth Paltrow, and its sumptuous costumes make this warmhearted and funny fantasy a pleasure from beginning to end. One does not have to know much about either Shakespeare or his times to enjoy the movie but if one does have a bit of this knowledge, the film is even more fun.
