Twelfth Night Reviews

Even if you don't know the play, or don't "speak Shakespeare," you're in for a lively, rewarding experience.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 22, 2019

Nunn's film succeeds beautifully in its chosen course.

| Aug 16, 2018

Staring sardonically into the camera, Kingsley's cool fool gives this Victorian fantasy a modern edge, as a bitter commentator who dimly views romantic love as quite absurd.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 25, 2018

I started watching the film by thinking, "They should film more of the comedies," and probably They still should, but I ended by thinking, "They really ought to hire movie directors to make movies."

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 8, 2012

Where is Preston Sturges when we need him?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 6, 2008

A handsome, agreeably performed rendition that fails to ignite much laughter or any real emotion.

Full Review | Jul 6, 2008

Why Nunn chose to set this version in the 1890s is a little baffling.

| Jul 6, 2008

The direction is assured, and the cast is masterly.

A comic meditation on desire, disguise and inherent bisexuality.

Another fine film version of the Bard's work...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 6, 2002

Focuses on the twists and turns in the giddy game of life.

| Aug 28, 2002

Not to be missed.

| Apr 17, 2002

An entertaining movie. No more, no less.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 12, 2002

Only fitfully do the actors actually seem to become the characters they are playing.

| Feb 14, 2001

Twelfth Night may be uneven, but is still largely appealing, thanks to the talented cast and the unique design of the film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 1, 2000
