Review of Macbeth (2015) by Rebecca31 — 04 Dec 2015
Starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, both giving absolutely outstanding performances. They're the reason to watch this version of Macbeth. As for the rest, let's just say it's never easy to get Shakespeare right (I'm looking at you Romeo & Juliet), and unfortunately this was clearly made by such an inexperienced director and it shows.
Pacing was all wrong, no flow, the art of story-telling completely lost among seemingly endless scenes of slow motion shots. With countless gory death scenes played in super slo-mo reminds one of the 300 and no one wants to be reminded of the 300.
Recommended for a one time viewing and be prepared to brush up on Shakespearean style of writing or face the consequences.
