I don't understand why the reviews for this one are so bad. I found this movie quite enjoyable. The acting seemed fine to me and the scenery and costume designs were really lovely. I enjoyed watching this movie a lot. I suppose those looking for the traditional portrayal of Hamlet might be disappointed. I enjoyed the updated dialogue and storyline from Ophelia's point of view. Give it a chance - you'll likely be pleased you did.

Not bad - Lovely scenery & costume design
Interesting take on Hamlet
Hard to believe the hostility directed against this movie. It's not Hamlet, but another take on the story from the viewpoint of Ophelia. The director chose to show the protagonist as a strong women. Enjoyed the character development and the storyline. Directing was solid. All the actors were quite believable in their roles.
Daisy's Ridding Herself of the Star Wars Stereotype
I watched this because I wanted to see what Daisy Ridley's acting was like outside of Star Wars. I had seen her in Murder on the Orient Express, but her role was relatively small in that. This film isn't incredibly exciting, but Ridley certainly gives a fine performance as a fleshed-out Ophelia. The other actors carry themselves well, in addition; and the period sets, costumes, and locations are convincing.
