Avis à la une
As a lifelong theater geek, this film is balm for my soul! That being said, it's not really about "The Thea-tah", (to be read in pretentious upper-class snotty tones!), it's about what all great works of art are about--love, connection, and living fully in the brief flare of our bright hours on this spinning globe. Who better to encompass all that life in gorgeous language than the Bard? Apparently Keith Boynton, whose lines for Shakespeare in this beautiful film are virtually indistinguishable from Shakespeare's own. I eagerly await his next project, and am trying really, really hard not to hate him for being so damn young and so incredibly talented...
The Scottish Play was a complete surprise to me. Delightful, creative, romantic and fun, and oh so much better than most of the mediocrity called movies these days.
Why hadn't I heard of The Scottish Play before? Why isn't this movie better known? Why wasn't it up for all kinds of awards? Why, oh why aren't there more movies like this? I can only hope that the writer and director ,Keith Boynton, becomes discovered by people with money and influence who can give his creative genius the limelight it deserves. May the ghost of Will Shakespeare appear before Hollywood producers and tell them about Keith Boynton!

Keith Boynton has creatively crafted the words of The Scottish Play to the point that it absolutely delightful. Thinking outside of the box and imagining "what if" Shakespeare was really not satisfied with Macbeth. The cast was able to carry off the film perfectly. You will find yourself throughly entertained in this feel good movie then you will begin to think what if Shakespeare were really a ghost wanting to rewrite his plays. I can only imagine that he would be pleased with Boynton and decide that he could probably have not rewritten Macbeth any better himself. This would be a great play to share in a classroom to follow Macbeth then compare and contrast between the two.
I only give this beautiful gem nine stars because it could have been a lot longer and I wouldn't have cared in the least. I normally don't like Shakespearean acting, but this film is not only great, it's enlightening. Brilliantly written and equally acted, I carry a renewed love for Shakespearean theatre because for the first time I've been shown the great playwright as a human god instead of some capricious tyrant from Mount Olympus. Bravo to everyone involved!
It is not necessary to be a specialist of Shakespeare
to enjoy this little gem.
It's beautifully filmed and acted.
I loved everything about this movie, the screenplay, the settings,
the dialogs, witty and also humorous.
The Shakespearean parts are just wonderfully crafted.
Keith Boynton has a real sense for space, light, as well as a
definite talent for writing scripts that are thought out of the box.
This is an uplifiting and clever movie.
Really, one of the best movies I have seen in years.
Highly recommended (sorry for the following, minimum characters required : highly recommended.)
