“A bold and unconventional exploit for a debut (not unlike Julie Taymor’s 1999 film, Titus), Fiennes’ choice to adapt the play as a modern political power struggle is sometimes successful in its union of Shakespeare’s prose to contemporary sociopolitical unrest, but also reveals itself to be a stale, pale echo of the bard’s original play.”
