The Tragedy of Macbeth

"Brilliant "

"It’s easy to see the attraction of Shakespeare’s Macbeth to Joel Coen. The story of a man who, after hearing his fortune told, conspires with his wife to kill for power, and then descends into a spiral of paranoia, madness, and murder is almost tailor-made for the kind of absurdist noir that is the Coen brothers’ meat & potatoes."

"Great cinematography, great acting. Felt very minimal, and retained a sense of feeling more like a play than many Shakespeare films. "

"Intense, beautiful, and brilliant. Really loving A24 being at the front of some recent classic adaptations. "

"Why did they cradle his head like that…"

"Minimal, strange, and beautiful"

"2022 is still a young year. There are countless stories waiting to unfold at the theaters in the remaining months, but as we begin awards seasons and heighten our judgment of the films worth consideration for Hollywood’s top prizes, I believe this film is worthy of the conversation. It is boldly directed, brilliantly acted, and delivers on its promise. It told the story of Macbeth powerfully, artfully, and in an unforgettable fashion. In my estimation, it achieved its thesis."

"Really enjoyed this interpretation…the direction, the performances, and the tone (the angles, shadows, sound) came together and was very effective. Particularly loved the abstraction of the cauldron. "

"Hands down the best portrayal of the Weird Sisters ever. "

"an incredible homage to the original play. words can’t describe how much i loved this"
