About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, faithful-feeling Shakespeare romance with vivid period atmosphere, strong emotion, and moments of humor amid tension; Not for you if you dislike poetic dialogue or slow-burn tragedy like On Golden Pond.

Pros: lush locations and costumes; moving young leads; memorable music and mood | Cons: theatrical dialogue delivery; uneven supporting performances; long, demands attention
