Review of Ophelia (2019) by Jluis_001 — 10 Jul 2019
An interesting different perspective for Hamlet that unfortunately only stays in that; interesting because it never seems to be 100% sure what way to take with the narrative and how to take it in a good way that's surprising considering the material lent itself to something more proactive and convincing and not so passive.
No doubt a film with a feminist perspective and that's not a bad thing for all those who are offended by that word but this film stays in the same line of recent films like: Effie Gray, Madame Bovary, Mary Shelley and Mary Queen of Scots, which are stories featuring interesting and solid female characters to whom writers and directors find it difficult to do them justice.
At least Daisy Ridley shows she has the guns to continue with her career after Star Wars.
