Review of The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) by Sono_Momo — 04 Feb 2022
Clearly, the choice of Denzel Washington to play a sensitive English role called Macbeth is the film's biggest weakness that could not be ignored. The skin colour of Denzel Washington and his American acts, despite the actor's golden record, kept any viewer away from the atmosphere of Macbeth and the land of Scotland.
Strict adherence to Shakespeare's play sometimes confuses the understanding of the dialogues. If I wanted to watch The Tragedy of Macbeth theater, I would go to the theater, not see it on the silver screen without a special adaptation! The strongest and most prominent role is played by Kathryn Hunter, who created memorable scenes.
Lady Macbeth's character was not properly addressed, but Francis McDormand's performance improved it somewhat.
