7/10
Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut if I'm not mistaken, an adaptation of a lesser-known Shakespeare play. It isn't hard to see why this is one of his lesser-known works indeed - it's pretty simple fare. And it's not hard to see why Fiennes' cast himself in the lead, as he gets to sink his teeth into an insanely over-the-top performance, which he does rather masterfully. If it's a good-but-not-great adaptation of a good-but-not-great play, it still does plenty of justice to its source and makes no real missteps along the way.
