Review of Much Ado About Nothing (2013) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine/Vulture — 26 May 2013
The movie’s singular acting triumph is Nathan Fillion’s Constable Dogberry, one of Shakespeare’s simpler buffoons made poetic by understatement. Fillion speaks softly, with uninflected sincerity, a brilliant departure from the standard gregarious-hambone Dogberry.
It’s his insularity — his imperviousness to the interjections of more observant people — that makes him such a touchingly credible clown.
