I thought this was supposed to be good

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2000)

I rented this after it won all those oscars and expected to love it. I enjoy period films and am a fan of Shakespeare, so I thought this would be right up my alley. What I got was pure torture! Not only was it painfully trite, but it was boring as well. I couldn't care less what happened to the characters, I just wanted it too end. I honestly don't understand why everyone loved it.
