Cymbeline Ratings & Reviews
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
Thus ad infinitum; these are the easter eggs you come for first and foremost, close reading as near-gimmickry.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
What we get-a bitty and begrimed romance-has a lyrical sway of its own, and, even if some of the cast seem lost in the lines, Hawke returns to save the day, and the movie.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
Almereyda never gives us a reason why this particular Shakespeare story is relevant for today, and thus worthy of being retold. Perhaps he watched too much Sons of Anarchy?
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Cymbeline" doesn't display any type of storytelling fluidity, lurching from scene to scene, barely making character connections as the production fights to preserve the iconic language while letting the rest of the effort slip into a coma.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) is remarkably good in her role, as is Hawke in the nastily playful, Iago-like role of Iachimo.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
A conceptually weak and dramatically muddled mess that has acquired a game and good cast and then given them precious little to do.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
If too many filmmakers try to amp up the excitement in Shakespeare with movie magic, Almereyda goes to the opposite extreme in Cymbeline.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
A mash-up of social media shortcomings and Shakespearean tragedy that becomes as much a tale of cinematic ambition gone awry as anything the Bard intended.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
The film has moments of real wit and stylish brutality, but its nods to modernity (motorcycles, iPads, Google) just feel like self-conscious stunts.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"Cymbeline" has been branded a tragedy, a tragicomedy and a romance, and Mr. Almereyda embraces all three categories. The movie is by turns grim, grimly amusing and romantic, sometimes at once.
Film Journal International
Nick Schager
[Shakespeare's Cymbeline is] given a distinctly contemporary sheen that almost makes it seem fresh, which is not-unfortunately-the same thing as coherent.
AV Club
Keith Uhlich
Almereyda tackles one of the Bard's lesser-regarded later works, the plot-heavy tragicomedy Cymbeline, and again unearths untold depths.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
If this willfully peculiar and daring "Cymbeline" isn't to all tastes, it brings back the blood, the thrills and the sense of moral discovery to a long-neglected work.
The Dissolve
Mike D'Angelo
Almereyda's sweeping cuts take material that was already problematic and render it almost nonsensical.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
It unfolds like a tragedy, gradually shedding all its armor until it winds up, naked and a little crazy, as something of a comedy. But all this madness has a purpose, as Almereyda shows us.
We Got This Covered
Isaac Feldberg
Director Michael Almereyda's ambition is admirable, but his grim and gristly modernization of Cymbeline rings almost entirely false.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The source material, which is convoluted even by Shakespeare's narratively dexterous standards, is admittedly a tough nut for a filmmaker to crack.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
"Cymbeline" has been teleported from the past with its fundamental problems unaddressed, and as soon as Google does a redesign or the next gen iPhone comes out, it's going to look as anachronistic as Ed Harris' tragic leather jacket.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The film dazzles with its colors and textures, practically worshipping those jet-black leather jackets, while letting Ed Harris' eyes express what no monologue possibly could.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Primarily, what this moody contemporary update does is expose the play as a second-rate Romeo and Juliet that just wasn't made for these times.
