juicy! kiera knightley does a stellar job at bringing the human side of this story to life, a story i was not familiar with.
i’m a sucker for an investigative journalist film, and this was no exception.
things really get going when my man ralph turns up; he dialed it up a notch and showed everyone how it’s done.
woah this was brilliant!! my favourite adaptation of r&j i’ve seen. the perfect version to introduce newcomers to shakespeare; the text may be greatly streamlined, however this version allows itself the room to be heard.
visually interesting, cutting between both rehearsal-style footage and more cinematic sequences, only enhanced by the beautiful score.
so many gems in the cast led by the endearingly boyish josh o’connor as romeo, who allows us to love him, and be swept up in the young…
okay firstly, TAKE THAT NEEDLE DROP?? so unexpected for the perceived tone of the film going in, but SO appreciated!
mikey madison is a MOVIE STAR, and i hope she’s milking it for all it’s worth. i’ll be devastated if she isn’t nominated; probably the best breakout performance since timothee chalamet as elio.
speaking of timothee, mark eydelshteyn is brilliant, and like madison, goes all in with an unwavering commitment to his character. the duo make this film what it…
