Review of The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) by Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian — 24 Sep 2021
The movie hits its stride immediately with a taut, athletic urgency and it contains some superb images – particularly the eerie miracle of Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane, with Malcolm’s soldiers holding tree-branches over their heads in a restricted forest path and turning themselves into a spectacular river of boughs.
This is a black-and-white world of violence and pain that scorches the retina.
