Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Only a few of the Bard's best lines are audible. The rest are lost in strained, dialectic gibbering that is only sound, not prose.

Stark, intermittently brilliant.

fresh:
One of the director's most personal creations, it's a courageous experiment with a craggy barbaric splendor all its own.

fresh:
There is force in this rough, hasty rendering; the sheer speed of the pacing gives it a quality of crushing delirium.

Adventurous film-making that takes risks, and full of imaginative flourishes.
