First, its special beauty has as source the status of hommage to William Shakespeare by Kenneth Branagh. If you do not ignore the great adaptations of the plays by Branagh, you understand why "All Is True" is a real special film. Second - for splendid photography . And for magnificent portrait of Anne Hathaway by Dame Judy Dench. And for the moments when the Shakespeare resemblance becomes almost...magic. And the music, off course. And the delicate use of themes.
Sins ? For me , it seems too...didactic. You know the life, you know the plays, you do not forget the verses. And you need a Shakespeare alive, of small gestures, not a package of explanations. I feel the meetings with the Earl of Southampton and Ben Jonson not real inspired used. Cliches, again and again, parts of lessons and something who you know deserves be better.
But, I admitt, I love it. For beauty, with so many faces and sources. And, off course, for "sins". And my old admiration for Kenneth Brannagh is more significant at the end of this film.

This was beautiful in many ways. Lovely photography and music by Patrick Doyle.
Well acted of course by Kenneth Branagh and Judy Dench. A very nice screenplay by Ben Elton who is more famous for his comedy writing. He also wrote the wonderful TV series "Upstart Crow" which is a funny view of Shakespeare.
This film is much more serious. I don't understand why this film has such a low IMDB rating.
A stunning slow paced beautifully shot movie. Ignore the bad reviews, take a breathe and enjoy the pace.
A rather melancholy account of Shakespeare's declining years in Stratford, though there are a few more cheerful moments to lighten the gloom. Shakespeare comes home to stay after having been mostly absent in London for the past twenty years, still brooding over the death of his son Hamnet, and is given a moderate welcome by his wife Anne (the ever reliable Judi Dench) and his two daughters. There are some amusing references to the 'second best bed' (which Shakespeare famously left his wife in his will) and a rather unlikely plot about some poetry which may or may not have been written by the long dead Hamnet. Meanwhile his daughters have their own problems. It is all a bit sad and slow, but with some pleasant touches that make it worth watching.
There are so many mysteries in history, things we'll never know for sure. For instance, everything about Shakespeare is slightly mysterious. This movie focus on his last years and it is based on the very few written documents regarding Shakespeare's family and affairs. This script, based on those few, arid legal documents is pure speculation, but loving speculation from someone who admires Shakespeare a good deal.
We can travel back in time and watch what could have been the final part of Shakespeare's life, back home. Played by Kenneth himself, Will is a slightly disappointed man, who at first does not find much comfort in his family. His wife Anne is resentful, his spinster daughter Judith even more so. Married daughter Susanna is also unhappy, but most of all Will is grieving for the loss of his only son, Hamnet. Allegedly struck down at 11 by the plague over 10 years earlier, Hamnet used to send poems to his father.
Will believes his son to have had a great literary talent and that makes him ever more disconsolate by his premature departure. Judith, being Hamnet's twin sister thinks her father would have preferred her to die and she's obviously hurt. However, there is a secret waiting to be told, which will contribute to give Will the closure he so much needs.
A word about the actors: Branagh is excellent as Shakespeare, definitely not recognizable as himself, but Judi Dench, playing wife Anne is too old for the part. As mentioned by many, Anne was only a few years older than William, but in this movie she could be his mother. Beautifully shot in the English countryside, the movie has an artistic quality to it, an atmospheric melancholic feeling that will be appreciate by many, but definitely not a movie for the masses.

- WissenswertesIn one of his scenes with Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh was supposed to directly cite lines from William Shakespeare's work, but he got it slightly wrong, so Dench started to laugh at the mistake. In retort, Branagh quipped "You can probably finish it!", which she promptly did. All of this was obviously not scripted, but nonetheless kept for the finished film.
- PatzerWhen talking to the Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare repeatedly addresses him as "Your Grace". When addressing an Earl, the correct form is "My Lord" (only a duke, archbishop or monarch would be addressed as Your Grace). The real William Shakespeare spent enough time around nobility to be well aware of the correct title to use.
- Zitate
William Shakespeare: If you want to be a writer, and speak to others and for others, speak first for yourself. Search within. Consider the contents of your own soul. Your humanity. And if you're honest with yourself, then whatever you write, all is true.
