Directed by: Roland Emmerich Written by: John Orloff
Starring: Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave, Sebastian Armesto, David Thewlis, Rafe Spall, Xavier Samuel, Joely Richardson
Here is a film that takes itself far too seriously, and spends all its efforts trying to convince us of its theory, rather than entertain us. This movie comes packed with yelling, all shots darkly lit by candlelight (oh ambience), a crowdsurfing Shakespeare, and an irate Joely Richardson.
Never thought I’d say this - but even Shakespeare in Love didn’t take itself as seriously.
My rating: 3/5
