Review of All Is True

All Is True (2018)
3/10
Thank goodness Shakespeare's poetry and plays were not as dull as this movie's fabricated screenplay about his life.

Kenneth Branagh's All is True earned an extra two stars from me for its sublime recitation - twice - of Shakespeare's own Sonnet No. 29, and for showing beautiful scenery of the English countryside. But I have a better idea: Instead of wasting nearly two hours in front of your television (or even worse, paying to sit through this snooze fest of a film in a theater), simply google Shakespearean Sonnet 29 and English Countryside, Images.

As Shakespeare himself forewarned in Richard II: "I wasted time, and now doth time waste me." The Bard might very well have been referring to watching All is True.
