I will grant that this is the movie he wanted to make.
However, it is not a movie I have to like. If you want to make Shakespeare, make Shakespeare. If you want to make a period piece, make a period piece. If you want to make some vainglorous project that appeals to you alone, make this. This doesn't try for subtlety, but it does go for long drawn out pieces between the not-subtlety that make you check your watch to see how many hours have passed to only find out it has been ten minutes.
I'm sure a lot of the actors signed up because of the director, but when he makes a proud statement of hiring "problematic actors," they should have decided to think again.
Frankly, it got the reception it deserved.
