Review of Anonymous (2011) by Meredith W — 19 Jul 2014

Impressive cinematography and performances; Rhys Ifans is an absolute standout. Despite its historical creativity, there are some great lines about the power and endurance of words. The money invested in authentic Elizabethan England setting representation is well spent in that it shows how emotionally involved audiences became with Shakespeare's plays.

What if Shakespeare was a fraud, well at the end of the day, the answer doesn't really matter. In this instance, it is the journey that matters and a mesmerising one it is.
