Review of Measure for Measure (2020) by Monica Castillo for RogerEbert.com — 04 Sep 2020

Based on the Shakespeare play of the same name, Paul Ireland’s Measure for Measure is filled with drama, although perhaps not the kind you’d expect from the Bard. No, this is a modern-day adaptation—one grappling with xenophobia, drug addiction, and gun violence.

There are no period costumes here, but there’s a stone-faced Hugo Weaving to make up for it.
