Review of The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) by R96Sk — 15 Feb 2022
Not quite to my personal taste, though I still enjoyed 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' enough.
The performances of Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand are superb, I always expect that from them both so I was delighted to see that be the case here. The rest of the cast are good too, including Brendan Gleeson and Corey Hawkins - get that guy back in 'The Walking Dead' universe a.s.a.p.!
I know it was by design and fully intentional, but I didn't love - not that I disliked them - the fake backdrops and theatre-esque staging, which doesn't help bring the world alive - for me, anyway. The black-and-white is neat, mind. It is, even with the aforementioned, a nicely made production.
8/10 from me, with this 2021 release having the two leads to thank for that extra 1/10.
