• Excellent, lively and amusing adaptation of the play
  I love this film! Shakespeare converted well into film form is a delight (see Branagh's 'Much Ado' as well) and this film is excellent.

• Most Wonderful
  There are many adaptations of the Bard's work out there which fail to do it justice. Happily, this is not one of them. Nunn's casting for this magical piece of cinema is excellent, with Kingsley's mysterious but comical Feste complimenting perfectly the hateful Malvolio (Nigel Hawthorne), corpulant Sir Toby and foppish Sir Andrew Agucheek, ably portrayed by Richard E. Grant.
  Sterling though the actors are, it is the female characters which bring this adaptation to life; Bonham-Carter is, as always,... more info
