A lusty, jaw-droppingly amoral bodice-ripper
2842d ago
Florence Pugh is lethally charismatic in William Oldroyd’s daring journey into the darkest corners of the world of bonnets and bows.
2842d ago
This is an auspicious and striking debut film that spells the start of a genuinely talented filmmaker as he handles his camera in breathtakingly spacey and formidable fashion.
2842d ago
Florence Pugh announces herself as a major talent to watch in William Oldroyd's impressively tough-minded Victorian tragedy.
2842d ago
Adaptation of Russian novel about young woman sold into marriage is a great revenge story – and introduces an amazing new actress.
2842d ago
Captivating and cruel, Lady Macbeth dissects power and privilege in all its forms.
2842d ago
Lady Macbeth begins as a biting tale of female empowerment but slowly reveals itself to be something much crueler. Period pieces rarely feel this contemporary.
2842d ago
Northumberland, 1865. Resenting her arranged marriage to older colliery heir Alexander (Paul Hilton), 17-year-old Katherine (Florence Pugh) embarks upon an affair with stable groom Sebastian (Cosmo Jarvis) and resorts to murder when their romance is discovered.
2842d ago
Debutant director William Oldroyd's Toronto world premiere brings an infamous Russian femme fatale to 19th century England.
2842d ago
“Lady Macbeth” has the refined, pleasing trappings of a tasteful period piece with the vicious, beating heart of a brutal psychological thriller. You can’t stop watching its beauty, even as you long to look away from its cruelty.
2842d ago
Lady Macbeth is an emotionally schizophrenic Victorian tragedy.
2842d ago
Mr. Oldroyd boxes Katherine in his attractive visuals, imprisoning her as her male relatives do. Yet his intellectual distance also turns her into a specimen, a pinned butterfly turned taxidermy beast.
2842d ago
It is not up for dispute that the film is a technical accomplishment; director William Oldroyd employs a measured cinematic pace for the narrative’s unfolding, while the film’s visual strategy is more akin to painting (and, by consequence, trends in arthouse cinema) than theater.
2842d ago
Florence Pugh is incandescent as a Victorian-era neglected farm wife, but motivation goes out the window once she goes on a rampage.
2842d ago
Lady Macbeth eventually turns into a meaningless, mean-spirited, and proudly irredeemable non-character study.
