Rating: 4/5 --
Gorgeous to look at, unevenly acted.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Maclean's Magazine
Respectful of the text, exquisitely designed and lustily played, it is a model Shakespeare adaptation.

Rating: 7/10 --
...overdone, overproduced, overblown, overacted.... Shakespeare gets rather lost in the shuffle, but it's hard to deny the film isn't fun to watch.

[T]he glistening fantasy sequences of the Scherzo and Nocturne, mainly created in camera by Hal Mohr, still breathtaking -- true fairy magic, over the top and beyond.
