Review of Shakespeare in Love (1998) by Stefan G — 22 Nov 2013

It might be a decent film, maybe even a good one. But the way I see it, it wasn't truly magnetic enough to warrant any meaningful interest. Yes, the acting is quite good, but a truly Elizabethan setting doesn't interest me.

I may have done Shakespeare in English, but that doesn't automatically mean that I'll like anything to do with Shakespeare. But to be fair, if this movie had ironed out some of its flaws, then maybe it would have been a better film.

Really though, it is pretty overrated. Either that, or I'm simply not the target audience of this film.
