Macbeth's reviews
Media reviews
The Telegraph
Everything here is so perfectly in tune with itself, that you might expect the film to feel a little too neatly self-contained. In fact it?s the opposite: raw, visceral and contagious. Its poetry gets in your bloodstream.
Variety
Fearsomely visceral and impeccably performed, it?s the Australian helmer?s fervid sensory storytelling that makes this a Shakespeare pic for the ages.
Rolling Stone
Even when coherence gets swept away by Kurzel's rogue visionary design, you know you're in the presence of a dazzling, defiant talent.
New York Times
The results are visually striking, even if beautifying carnage in this manner is distracting and complicated, both for what it means for the drama unfolding on screen and for the audience. Also Mr. Fassbender gives you a reason to see this 'Macbeth', although the writing isn?t bad, either.
Cinemanía
Epic, beautiful and ambitiously imperfect. Roman, Akira and Orson would raise their thumbs.
Fotogramas
The director of 'Snowtown' makes collide, sometimes with a very stimulating violence, the emotions of the original Shakespeare and the interpretation of them extracted in the images. The result of this train wreck is simply exciting.
