Giorgio G @GioBlob Jun 23, 2026 It's odd that I never came across this movie before. Or maybe I did, but I ignored it as I am really no friend of movies about this epoch. Anyway I finally watched it and I was pleasantly surprised. I have absolutely no taste for Shakespeare or any similar stuff, but, though the movie spins around his plays, the story goes a lot wider. It's very interesting, with beautiful sets, great scenes with delighted crowds and wonderful views of castles and mansions. The acting of some is superb, though the style, in projection of Shakespeare, is often excessively dry, though it might exactly this being necessary to bring the message and the whole story across. 7/10 points!

Pretty confusing at first but then turn the pieces together and it made sense. Great cast and loved the acting, but in a way, it lacks its purpose to watch it again, but yeah it has a good well all around ending. That being said for this being a solid movie set in the period piece era, I give " Anonymous" a D. See more retro b @retrobite Feb 1, 2026 Emmerich’s London is a technical baroque, a saturation of signs attempting to hide creative misery. But there is an involuntary success: it shows how the use-value of the poetic word is devoured by the exchange-value of noble prestige, insulting, almost unknowingly, the luminous vagrancy of writing. They want beauty to be the private property of the aristocracy. Shakespeare, the real one, was a ghost walking the streets; this Oxford in the film is just a dandy with a martyr complex. To hell with your authorship! Poetry belongs to those who need it to keep from suffocating. See more Sean D @Anonymous000 Dec 29, 2025 I saw this movie when it came out. I was in a theater class at the time. It peaked my interest so I rented it. The acting was exceptional. The concept was intriguing. As to whether or not there is any proof of this concept has left to be, or not to be, proven. But that is the question. I think viewership would be enough to intrigue others to consider picking up some of the Bard’s work, dusting it off and giving it a second view. What I find also to be aggravating is the DEI modifications of his work. Sir Brian Blessed nearly had an aneurysm recently after discovering this in London. To even contemplate DEI edits of Shakespeare is an atrocity. This film on the other hand is about the Bard himself, and a would-be ghost writer, leaving room to the imagination.

Remove yourself from the history books and watch this wondrous movie that doesn't require any accuracy to be amazing. O for a Muse of fire...
