The Tragedy of Macbeth - Recenzje

...hits its stride immediately with a taut, athletic urgency and it contains some superb images...

...there's real resonant power in all that sound and fury: a tragedy stripped back and reborn once again...

The film has a cold, abstract beauty.

Stark but utterly compelling, this chilling take on Macbeth is a visually stunning tour de force.

McDormand is magnificent, while Washington delivers one of the most impressive performances of his career...

...the technical virtuosity on display marks this as the work of a master.

Denzel Washington leads a stellar cast in dreamy Shakespeare noir.

The film is as cold and weird and lucid as a waking dream, shot in a pristine, magnesium-bright monochrome, and situated on stark, angular sets that melt into abstraction as they approach the edges of the near-square screen.

Stark and severe, with a level of artistry rarely achieved in movies, this black-and-white tragedy may be the best 'Macbeth' ever made, and it's certainly one of the best-ever Shakespeare adaptations.

A thunderous performance by Washington.

...an outstanding gem of form and content...

Denzel Washington och Frances McDormand gör här sina livs roller som paret MacBeth.

En snygg och kreativ teateruppsättning.

...en fängslande, dov och hotfull dramatisering som ändå bär Coens unika prägel.

...et uforligneligt studie af menneskets afmægtighed, når det giver sig i kast med dunkle kræfter.
