The Scottish Play

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.)

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...

Theatre friends, Bard buffs, Macbeth mavens, iambic pentameter addicts and lovers of a classic rom-com in which all ends well, I beg you not to miss this lovely movie. Polymathic writer-director Keith Boynton brings a gentle and satisfying gem of a movie that is literate, lovely to look at and listen to, and purely enjoyable. Anyone who has worked or seen any New England theatre festival performance will feel right at home here. Every discipline in this movie, from writing to acting to directing to lights, sound, cinematography, location and sets, is exquisitely right. Shout out to the hilariously acted character of the stage manager! My new favorite Christmas movie. After all, A Christmas Carol is a ghost story, too.

Such a fantastic work, wonderful performance by entire cast. Moving. Deep, elegant and also adorable. Love it.

Keith Boynton is wordsmith with a delicate touch, an eye for opportunity to interpret romance, magic, and to give the Bard a chance to revise his work. The cast played their parts to the hilt. I loved the film, and will revisit it with great joy. Boynton is truly a romantic at heart, with fresh breath of air!

As an aficionado of Shakespeare, I have to give Boynton high marks for his use of iambic pentameter: just right. The actors rose to the task of making the film a romantic reality. Believable at every turn. .

The film was too short for my liking, but that doesn't damper my marks for the best film I've seen in many a year.
