This is a modern-dress rendition of Shakespeare's famous
"comedy," a semi-serious drama with a story featuring mistaken
identities and confused declarations of love. Though it screens
far more of the classic play's dialogue than the 1936 version
featuring Laurence Olivier, some reviewers asserted that the
movie's anachronistic modern settings and costumes made the
play's references to ancient forms of clothing and customs
confusing to those unfamiliar with the play, and irritating to
those who are. Other viewers may find the amount of elaborate
verbiage Shakespeare used to convey even the simplest sentiment
tiresome. Despite these drawbacks, connoisseurs may enjoy the
interpretations of these well-known roles by some of the better
performers gracing the British stage in the 1990s, including
Emma Croft, James Fox, Cyril Cusack and Celia Bannerman. Netflix
