The way great movies should be!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 1999)

The name "Tom Stoppard" was enough to bring us to see this film at the first chance we had. We were not disappointed - this is a great, fine film. It does justice to Shakespeare, the intelligence of its viewers, and to anyone with a heart for both romance and the tragic realities of life. There are great moments in which, like Shakespeare, the director and writers move you from tears to hilarity and back again. Gwyneth Paltrow is lovely and has a tremendous opportunity to display her talent. A "must see" film!
