10/10
EDIT
“In a career of many masterworks, this may be Paul Thomas Anderson's most vital film yet. It's one cinematic delight after another, a battle cry, and undoubtedly not only the film of the year, but for an entire generation, perhaps the entire decade.” –

EDIT
“With a star-making turn from Leo Woodall, solid support from Hoffman and Liu, and Roher’s confident leap into narrative filmmaking, it’s an intriguing debut that suggests Roher will hopefully be giving us even more finely tuned pieces in the future.” –

“It's a psychologically intense adaptation that will hopefully allure newcomers to Shakespeare's work. Still, for those already familiar with the source material, it is burdened by comparisons to the countless other adaptations that have come before it.” –

“It's worth seeing for its bold aim from Cregger, a filmmaker still very much on the rise and filled with tremendous promise, but one that may leave many viewers as frustrated and divided as the characters in the film.” –
