Review of Romeo + Juliet (1996) by Jess — 20 May 2009

I think this beautiful adaptation gets no justice, the melodic storytelling and dramatic performances don't seem out of place in this tragic film, it keeps to the Shakespearean roots by maintaining the language which in its form sounds poetic, the story has however been updated to suit today's audience.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes do a excellent job in the lead roles. A must watch for people who like love stories.
