Amusing but nothing more

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 1999)

I gave this film an eight as I enjoyed the movie and I liked the way the life in those days was portrayed in detail (eg even good looking guys as Shakespeare have mechanics hands). Otherwise the film did not get me really crazy. I was not fully drawn into it and it did not really touch me. I am not quite sure what's the reason for this. Perhaps it's those little things like where is all that hair under the wig, that made the film just too unrealistic.
It's worth seeing, but don't expect to wake up the next morning with your mind still fixed to the movie.
