An appropriately visceral and defiant adaptation of a Shakespeare gem. Fiennes and Butler are adequate, but it is Redgrave who reminds us that the bard must be performed to be believed - and goodness, does she ever.

Easily the most tediously superficial film I've seen in awhile.

Just re-watched this again in a long time, which only served to re-confirm my absolute love/hate feelings towards this episode. Most of the time, I wish it didn't exist.

I truly don't know whether to give this film 1 star or 5 stars...

A brilliant wee slice of existential truth :)

The introduction to this film was clearly the best part; the rest unfortunately suffered like a rat in a meat-grinder.

A pity this was so terrible; the city of Oxford does not deserve this monstrocity.

Only the brilliant cast and costumes/cinematography make me glance twice at this otherwise rather dull film. True, it was based on actual events in history, but so were many other films who instead managed to elevate themselves to a cinematic status not quite achieved by "The Young Victoria".

Fabulous, tongue planted firmly in cheek horror comedy.

Brilliantly twisted; Greenaway's finest.
