Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Tara Brady (805) for Irish Times (1,391) on 28 Apr 2017

If there's a chillier Lady Macbeth than Florence Pugh's callous, scheming madam then we'll pass on the resultant heating bill…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 27 Apr 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 27 Apr 2017

An astonishing tale of privilege and power: stark, searing, and brutal, almost a Victorian companion to Get Out. Florence Pugh is a force of nature…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 26 Apr 2017

Dark and disturbing, it's a tale that benefits from the simplicity of its telling and the frigid economy of the narrative…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 26 Apr 2017

There's enough intrigue, tragedy, vaulting ambition and murderous intent to justify the implications of the title - and breakout star Florence…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Karen Krizanovich (126) for Radio Times (2,421) on 26 Apr 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 26 Apr 2017

A British, period-set chamber thriller with a star-making turn on one side of the camera, and one hell of a directing debut on the other…

By Kate Muir (612) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 26 Apr 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 26 Apr 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By John Byrne (48) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 26 Apr 2017

This is a delightfully seditious film that hands patriarchy a right good kicking, and deservedly so…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 26 Apr 2017

Cleverly, it gives us enigmatic backstory hints that may or may not help explain the sudden direction change the film takes in its third act,…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Danny Leigh (85) for Financial Times (1,822) on 26 Apr 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Pamela Hutchinson (21) for Sight and Sound (827) on 26 Apr 2017

Lady Macbeth outclasses many of its peers in British period cinema, not because of its bold use of sex and violence, but because of its dramatic…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Rob Carnevale (227) for Indie London (156) on 26 Apr 2017

The film is a bleak offering... that begins dark and continues to get darker. As a result, it might not play to all tastes…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 25 Apr 2017
