ReviewsLos Angeles Times - This is Shakespeare exciting enough for even the most dubious, which, after all, is no less than the man deserves., Entertainment Weekly - "...A radical break with tradition....At once bracing and true to Shakespeare..." -- Rating: B+, Time Out - This triumphant take on the Crookback king is as different from Olivier's '50s historical pageant as chalk is from malmsey., Variety - A sure-fire crowd-pleaser among recent Shakespeare movies., Sight and Sound - ...RICHARD III is a film to listen to as much as to watch....[The] design is perhaps the most imaginative and atmospheric use of locations in a British movie for a while...

  • A different take, with some cuts in text.

    I have wanted to see this version for some time. Good price to take a chance. Very interesting, excellent cast. 1930s fascist England scenario a bit crazy, but worth watching. Noted quite a few cuts.

  • Absolutely brilliant. McKellen at his best.

    Absolutely superb. I’ve seen a few Richard 111 but this is the best. Terrifying!
