I only give this beautiful gem nine stars because it could have been a lot longer and I wouldn't have cared in the least. I normally don't like Shakespearean acting, but this film is not only great, it's enlightening. Brilliantly written and equally acted, I carry a renewed love for Shakespearean theatre because for the first time I've been shown the great playwright as a human god instead of some capricious tyrant from Mount Olympus. Bravo to everyone involved!

Just enough magic, A large dose of perfect acting. A taste of the ethereal in the miracle that is Shakespeare's plays. A great recipe for an awesome movie.

Such a fantastic work, wonderful performance by entire cast. Moving. Deep, elegant and also adorable. Love it.

As a lifelong theater geek, this film is balm for my soul! That being said, it's not really about "The Thea-tah", (to be read in pretentious upper-class snotty tones!), it's about what all great works of art are about--love, connection, and living fully in the brief flare of our bright hours on this spinning globe. Who better to encompass all that life in gorgeous language than the Bard? Apparently Keith Boynton, whose lines for Shakespeare in this beautiful film are virtually indistinguishable from Shakespeare's own. I eagerly await his next project, and am trying really, really hard not to hate him for being so damn young and so incredibly talented...
