Yet the film is such a cracking good entertainment I barely even noticed that its world makes no sense.

It's as political a production as it needs to be, and at its best, it feels as current and as timeless as a nightmare.

The whole cast - top-notch - takes Anthony Hopkins' lead and chews the scenery down to gristle and bone.

The performances hold it together; this play has always been focused on human suffering. Amazon's King Lear is by no means a definitive adaptation of what is arguably the Bard's finest tragedy, but it is a thrilling and entertaining one.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 2, 2018

While the language of Shakespeare can be a challenge for the modern viewer, this "King Lear" is so physical and the acting so expressive that one is never unsure of what is happening, or what devilment.

Just because nobody could or should feel this is a definitive King Lear detracts only somewhat from the undeniable joy that comes from even two hours of watching Anthony Hopkins gnash his teeth, wail and go gloriously mad.

It was like turning on the 온라인카지노추천 in a foreign hotel room...So let's just say I failed it, and not the other way around.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 4, 2018

Now 80 himself, the right age, Hopkins is at home in Lear's skin. Shouty, angry, cruel one moment; vulnerable, tender, loving the next - or at the same time. A mesmerising performance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2018

Flawed parenting, ingrate children and family estrangement will never not be relevant, and the modern-day dress gave it the feel of a production at ease with itself.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 29, 2018

What is most fresh but coherent is [director Richard] Eyre's interpretation of the three sisters as women absolutely at the end of their tether.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 29, 2018

No doubt conscious of the competition, director Richard Eyre assembled so many galacticos for his bells-and-whistles modern-day-set 온라인카지노추천 version that at first it was hard to concentrate on anything else.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 29, 2018
