Leave your thoughts about Cymbeline.
| New York TimesManohla DargisCymbeline has been branded a tragedy, a tragicomedy and a romance, and Mr. Almereyda embraces all three categories. The movie is by turns grim, grimly amusing and romantic, sometimes at once. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyDespite Almereyda's invention in approaching this tawdry Shakespearean tale, he misfires badly. All that is left is the semblance of Cymbeline. |
| The Film StageTommaso TocciAlmereyda is back at it fourteen years later with Cymbeline, a dramatically clunkier Shakespeare play, both in and of itself and for the challenges it presents to a modern adaptation. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Cymbeline" doesn't display any type of storytelling fluidity, lurching from scene to scene, barely making character connections as the production fights to preserve the iconic language while letting the rest of the effort slip into a coma. |
| SignatureLisa RosmanHaunting and richly layered, tis such stuff as dreams are made on. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt gives us Shakespeare, but with a murkiness and lack of poetics and too many story-lines converging all at once. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangMichael Almereyda’s Cymbeline works best as a cautionary tale concerning the dangers of of believing that everything written by The Bard is “timeless.” |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonDakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) is remarkably good in her role, as is Hawke in the nastily playful, Iago-like role of Iachimo. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiMost of the rest of the film surrounding it is a conceptually weak and dramatically muddled mess that has acquired a game and good cast and then given them precious little to do. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Glen FalkensteinCymbeline's familiar Elizabethan tropes do not translate well to a modern context, nor do the constant references to 'Caesar' or 'Romans.' |
