Ophelia's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
Ridley is simply extraordinary, and she and MacKay give us a younger, lustier Ophelia and Hamlet than we usually get on the big screen.
The Hollywood Reporter
This vigorous, colorful and clever melodrama smartly rethinks both the play and the character, making her a far more proactive figure than Shakespeare did in addition to entirely reimagining her fate.
Vulture
This is the ultimate female take-back-the-narrative movie, and frankly a lot of it is silly and sophomoric. But it?s also juicy and fun.
Indiewire
If you?re going to steal from Shakespeare, why do it while reimagining one of his greatest works? If 'Hamlet' doesn?t offer you enough meat, something is awry.
The Guardian
This film looks absolutely gorgeous, but apart from its production design it is basically a disaster. Shakespeare purists will revolt, high-fantasy fans will be bored and the kids who make gifs of Daisy Ridley and put them on Tumblr will wait until they can pirate this anyway. This project is madness with no method to it.
