COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Okay but not Great submitted by generic username on August 29, 2019, 12:36pm "All is True" is about the domestic turmoil William Shakespeare faces with the women in his family. The acting is good, but the screenplay wanders as if it trying to fill out its running time. It's not a bad film, but it also isn't a really good one.

some good scenes submitted by ccrose on August 24, 2020, 6:05pm A posit on how Shakespeare's daughter took up writing and his son did not. Good Scene: Shakespeare has a conversation with his benefactor and owner of the Globe Theatre, which had just burnt to the ground. It's a sobering moment for Shakespeare to hear the message he'd tried to ignore: You grow old, you die, and all your successes were done long ago.
