About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, modern-set Shakespeare tragedy about power, pride, and public opinion with bursts of violence and tension; Not for you if you dislike archaic dialogue or talk-heavy drama, even like Munich.
Pros: intense political drama; strong performances; gritty modern setting | Cons: dense Shakespearean dialogue; uneven pacing; modern mix divisive
