5.0 out of 5 stars A complete comic delight, June 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Midwinter's Tale: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script) (Paperback)

While working towards his amazing film of "Hamlet," Kenneth Branagh plus several of his close friends and colleagues took a little time off for a lighthearted "take" on actors playing Hamlet. This film knocked my socks off. If you've ever been an actor, it's true to the bone of the experience, but with such a gentle, hilarious, gay grotesquerie that it's probably one of my favorite works of Branagh's, and surely the most unexpected. No one I've ever met doesn't love this little gem about a bunch of out-of-work actors with dreams of really "doing" Hamlet and getting their lives together - putting the Great Dane together with shoestring, gum, and very little else but heart. Highly recommended. The entire cast is stellar.

5.0 out of 5 stars An actor's film for actors and those who want to laugh, January 6, 2011

Theater Lover "elwood p." (North Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Midwinter's Tale: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script) (Paperback)

One of the greatest movies about the craft and "family" of the theater that I've ever seen. I show it to all my good actor friends and we quote it constantly at each other.

Please please please can it be released on DVD sometime?
