Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 29 Aug 2017

[William] Oldroyd asks a lot of the relatively inexperienced [Florence] Pugh, and she nails it, a box of steely reserve constantly threatened…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Filipe Freitas (61) for Film Threat (5,156) on 29 Aug 2017

Unusual, uncomfortable, austere, and tragic, this drama film will likely give you the bitterest taste you've had this year in the movie theaters…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Diane Carson (151) for KDHX (St. Louis) (284) on 28 Aug 2017

The cinematography rivets our attention with every frame, not just in the shocking murder scenes but also in the details…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Megan Burbank (30) for The Stranger (Seattle, WA) (891) on 21 Aug 2017
