Leave your thoughts about Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
| Washington PostHal HinsonStaged as they are here, the jokes and the fourth-wall gamesmanship don't seem as funny as they did on the page. |
| DVDJournal.comMark Bourne...On stage, the sprightly teleological riffs and bebop dialogue delight as ends in themselves. Here they're leaden and compromised. What happened? |
| Austin ChronicleKathleen MaherRosencrantz and Guildenstern may be dead, but they do save the day. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksAt a full two hours in length, there are just too many stretches where little or nothing is going on... |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsProbably the best stage to screen adaptation I've ever seen. Essential. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanford"belongs on the stage, but for what it is, not bad" |
| User ReviewCraig BGary Oldman and Tim Roth...how can you go wrong |
| User ReviewBethany HHysterically funny. That's the only way to describe this movie. So, so, so funny. The Questions game, and the confusion about who is who, and all the scientific discoveries by Rosencrantz (or was that Guildenstern?) is one of the best running gags of all time. If you don't know Hamlet, it's funny, if you do it's even funnier. |
| User ReviewAlice Som stoppard is lovely and this is lovely. there are better reviews, but yes- see this, it's good. |
| User ReviewAndrew RI know every subtle gesture, joke, voice inflection, line, of this entire movie. I might have seen it twice as a youngster, like a Dr. Suess drawing, the movie's universe seem to stick in my subconsciousness to shape my personality and humor, possibly more than Monty Python. |
