6/10
6/10. Watchable but not recommended
18 December 2023
Burton and Taylor are a delight to watch, their chemistry is -as expected- great. The "hunting" scene is very funny and the whole movie is kinda enjoyable, i guess. But this was too long. This was boring at times. I don't know if they butchered Shakespear or this theatrical play is not to my taste. In any case, i didn't find it that clever. I must be fair: In the way of so many movies/tv series today are misandric, this way TTOTS is misogynistic to the core. Last scene is barely watchable, as Taylor declares her female "inferiority". Of course every work of art is a product of its time, you can't "cancel" Shakespeare. But still, this movie is the definition of "Outdated". And justly.

There are a lot of things to enjoy here. Still, i can't recommend it.
