COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Romeo + Juliet submitted by SBNB on July 12, 2014, 10:36pm I really enjoyed this movie back when it first came out. And Leonardo DiCaprio certainly isn't hard on the eyes...

Style and substance submitted by brooksza on August 2, 2022, 10:53pm The style and substance of this movie totally works for me. It made Shakespeare approachable for me at a young age and held up on this rewatch. Great soundtrack. Harold Perrineau was strong. The chemistry between Romeo and Juliet and the actors playing them oozes off the screen.

I get why this may not be for everyone, but it's for me.
