Yasser Medina

Its sober tone often strips away spectacle to offer a behind-closed-doors historical drama about betrayal, revenge and political power, which finds its strongest point in the performances and some memorable Shakespearean dialogue. [Full review in Spanish]

Joseph L Mankiewicz’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s play is something of a triumph, with Marlon Brando disproving the doubters who thought this was a “stunt casting”...

This is a fairly stolid adaptation of William Shakespeare’s famous play but when James Mason starts talking in that mellifluous voice of his it is hard to look away...

Shakespeare's drama itself suffers from a long anticlimax, but most of its celebrated merits are soundly accounted for in this tasteful, intelligent film.

A wordy historical blockbuster with a dramatic flourish.
