I didn't like the end although I understood why he lost it. it's sad he had to die to revenge his dad.

This movie didn’t draw me in like I thought it would. The ending was dragged out and unbelievable. Hamlet took too long to die and his mother died instantly.

Missed some integral moments and spinned it so far crazy that you didn’t get to enjoy Hamlet for the great chess player he was.

Wonderful choice to set this within an Indian family dynasty as it lent itself well to that setting. The play scene was especially beautifully realized.

A visual marvel. Riz Ahmed at this point is just something else. Early Oscar Buzz..

it was a very creative take on hamlet. loved the dancers. giving the famous to be or not to be speech while speeding towards various vehicles was quite exhilarating.

I left in the middle of it. Slow. Tried too hard with the original themed dialogue. Would have been better with a different script.

Oh my..walked out of the movie…horrible idea to have an Indian family in an adaptation of Shakespeare Hamlet. Hindi with no translation. (I am Indian!)

I know I never seen the Hamlet play but I understand this was an reenactment and I was genuinely bored of the plot.

The movie theater was empty. Wonder why. The film was set in London by BBC. Everyone dies in the end. The uncle killed his brother. The brother's son Hamlet was later poisoned although the mother died for him. He killed the uncle before dying himself.

This Hamlet sticks to the narrative essentials to produce a terse, pitiless retelling.

Riz Ahmed's fiery turn and a bold South Asian lens make this Hamlet compelling, even if uneven.

Karia’s attempts to make the play cinematic work well at times.
