Joseph Fiennes isn’t even wearing guyliner his eyes are just like that
Siena 🌞Mar 13, 2014I had forgotten just how wonderful and clever this film is. Especially in its plotting, how it leans into every Shakespearean trope and twist and reveals them for the wonderful devices they are and as the building blocks for almost any romantic comedy. It's so devoutly…

- Sabrina Bondi likedShakespeare in Love
To quote Shakespeare, "A good wit will make use of anything" and there are plenty of good wits making use of history, romance, laughter and boundless imagination in the delicious comedy Shakespeare in Love.
TranzikovaJ lovedShakespeare in LoveThis was the movie i needed like it was beautiful definitely will be watching again.
Jimmy Cricket likedShakespeare in LoveFun & incredibly well made period piece comedy. This film gets unfairly bashed for having won best picture, which was only because Weinstein brought out the Academy that year.
- Shep V lovedShakespeare in Love
wonderfully written to blur and blend Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night into one great story. Funny and sweet, honors the time without taking itself too seriously
William Luckenbach likedShakespeare in LoveFull of laughter and fun, “Shakespeare in Love” is a pretty good film but a damn good love story that’s equally well written as it’s well acted. 8/10
Ayden Hargrave lovedShakespeare in LoveThough it didn’t deserve a few of the Oscars it “won”, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE most certainly isn’t a bad movie. In fact, it’s very delightful.
- Melissa lovedShakespeare in Love
the perfect rom-com! what a beautiful look into what might have inspired Shakespeare and the ending was very apt for the story.
larrabeeeee lovedShakespeare in LoveI know it’s not historically accurate but damn is that Shakespeare in Love
Sophia Agoston lovedShakespeare in LoveLove this. Such good way of retelling the original Romeo and Juliet. 10/9

This romantic farce has a talented cast and energy to spare, but somehow the ingredients don't burn as brightly as one would expect from such promising ingredients.

I was carried along by the wit, the energy and a surprising sweetness.

Accessibly brainy screen charmer.
