Rating: 4/5 -- Jacob Koskoff, Michael Lesslie and Todd Louiso have adapted Shakespeare's text intelligently and agree or disagree with their various elisions and interpretations, it is good to see the boldness of their decisions. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Cotillard just edges Fassbender in this, her Lady Macbeth held up by a skeleton of iron enclosing a broken heart. This is a bloody, brutal and dank film, with freezing beaches and rain drenched moorsand a background song of hauntinglydisruptive violins. Full Review

Michael Fassbender is one of the best things about this film. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Performance, setting, look, and sound successfully come together to generate the drama and monumental scale required of Kurzel to do justice to Shakespeare's work. Full Review
