Shakespeare's intertwined love polygons begin to get complicated from the start--Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia but she only has eyes for Lysander. Bad news is, Hermia's father wants Demetrius for a son-in-law. On the outside is Helena, whose unreturned love burns hot for Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena). In the forest, unbeknownst to the mortals, Oberon and Titania (King and Queen of the faeries) are having a spat over a servant boy. The plot twists up when Oberon's head mischief-maker, Puck, runs loose with a flower which causes people to fall in love with the first thing they see upon waking. Throw in a group of labourers preparing a play for the Duke's wedding (one of whom is given a donkey's head and Titania for a lover by Puck) and the complications become fantastically funny.
Leave your thoughts about A Midsummer Night's Dream.
| Austin ChronicleRussell SmithFor my money the most gloriously, enchantingly trivial play in the Shakespearean canon, A Midsummer Night's Dream may also be the most screwup-proof of the bard's works. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA thoroughly enjoyable piece of cinema that does credit to its director and cast. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThe well chosen cast helps -- no one strikes a false note. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA playful, sexy piece of work -- just what the Bard might have conjured up for a movie adaptation of his beloved spring-fever comedy. |
| Washington PostJane HorwitzOnly the title is clunky in this felicitous marriage of cinematic trickery, theatrical whimsy and the Bard's fabulous tale. |
| Dallas ObserverM. V. MoorheadOne of the best of the many delights of director Michael Hoffman's new film -- is that he manages to have it both ways -- the gauzy fantasy and the bacchanal. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsHoffman (Soapdish, One Fine Day) leads a first-rate cast in an intelligent, fully realized adaptation of Shakespeare's most popular comedy that's at once highly cinematic and true to its source. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is an enchanted folly suggesting that romance is a matter of chance, since love is blind; at the right moment we are likely to fall in love with the first person our eyes light upon. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonHoffman introduces a memorable sensuality to the movie. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinHoffman has wedged the play into a weirdly inapposite setting, has stupidly cut and even more stupidly embellished it, and has miscast it almost to a player. And yet the damn thing works: Shakespeare staggers through, mutilated but triumphant. |
